Ginger, Hens and pullets decide to brood based on their hormones. If I wanted my hen to go broody, I would give her a pen with a nest in a corner where it is not dark and not in bright light. I'd feed her 18-20% with oyster shell on the side, poultry vitamins in her water fresh every day, treats like half a squash, chopped dandelions, chickweed, and purslane. In other words I'd set the scene and let her keep her fertile eggs in her nest.

Now have another question. How do we get these hens to brood? If we need to teach them how to brood, how would you go about it?
