OK, here is the question.
I Have a Black Australorp hen that went broody last May. I gave her 5 eggs and she hatched and raised 3 chicks. The other 2eggs never hatched. she did not go broody again all summer. Is there any likely chance that she will go broody again next spring or should I ask Santa for an incubator? I lost half of my Marans due to 2 evil roosters that have since been sent sent to freezer camp and I want to try to raise some to help replace the ones lost as Marans are very hard to find in Idaho.
