I have a year old Pekin cross bantam that seems to be permanently broody! The first time it happened I used her to hatch some Aracauna eggs - she was a good sitter and mother too, and was back to normal after the chicks grew up, but over the last 3 months she has been broody most of the time. I have her in a separate pen but it makes no difference to the broodiness, and the other problem is that when I let the other bantams out she tries to 'mate' with them like a rooster :shock: Is that a hormone problem? I'm sure I read that somewhere years ago. It's got to the stage that I have to let her out for a dustbath and run round separately so she can't hassle the others. At the moment she is like a loose canon. :x
