Title: Are Norfolks faithful broodies?
Post by: moorlander on April 13, 2011, 06:28:02 pm
Can anyone tell me if Norfolk Greys have a fair reputation for staying faithful to the nest when they go broody?

I've got a hen who gave me what for when I tried to ease her off the eggs she was covering. Not like my Norfies which are normally very timid. This one certainly was not- set up a cry that got the whole flock going and showed me her beak.
Good sign so far as motherhood is concerned but I wonder if she will stay the course.

Any experienced advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

Paul
