Feelin' broody

In the late 80s, there was a hair styling product called Mudd.This hen saved her money and went with the Mud with one D.  Her hair is nearly dreaded.Well, I've got another broody hen.  A bit late, but that's ok.  I've had November chicks before.  Two Silkie hens failed to brood this year (psst, I think they're defective), but this is a proven mom. Tomorrow I'll have to box her.I wonder if this is the lady who lunches.  I suspect it is, because both moms are usually front and center in the GH come feeding time.*Yep, it's the one who leaves her eggs to eat.  The eggs were abandoned this morning at breakfast time, but I felt them- still hot.  Except for the risk of not getting back on the right eggs, this makes sense.  At the end of a brood, she won't be starving and depleted.  And cranky.  Especially if she's running her heater in the early winter.
