Broody Butt won't stop being broody, so she is actually spending a few nights in broody jail. I tried to break her by locking her out of the coop, collecting the eggs etc.

She seems to go broody every few months now.

We are getting two freshly hatched chicks in August. I'm hoping she can adopt them, and satisfy her need for baby love. I've read Silkies are great Moms, does my broody buff have good "Mom" potential?

I'm going to spend the next few months chick prepping my coop and run, fingers crossed.
