Looking for Broody Hen pics

[Farmfresh]

Anyone out there have some cute broody hen pics that they would like to share?

I am looking for a few to submit with a story I am writing. Any help would be appreciated and of COURSE your photo would have a by-line.

I've got a perpetually broody hen, Wanda. There are pictures on my blog and you're welcome to use them.

Is that first pic a white rock? Is the second a New hampshire red?

The first is indeed a White Rock but the second is a mutt EE~she was a perpetual broody that wasn't a good enough mother to earn a place in the flock for long. She got culled after the first year and a half.

I had another pic of a New Hamp with adopted chicks but I lost it somewhere on here.

Barred, that WR was a broody that I slipped 20 meaty chicks under last spring...if you will look closely you will see all these little orange legs sticking out from under her!

She raised them all successfully and I didn't lose a one.

Dang!! I would probably keep that hen forever. I might get some of those. What hatchery did they come from?
