Gone broody three times this year?

[basicliving]

I've had the same two hens go broody three times already this year. Once in March, once in May, and now again this week. They are Phoenix hens and always go broody together.

It seems these little hens are set on going broody every two months. Have any of you experienced this? How many times in one year have you had the same hen go broody?

Thanks,
Penny

My blue Orpington hen hatched her first babies March 25 this year. She just hatched another batch yesterday. I sure hope she doesn't do this once a quarter! Some are known for hatching several broods a year, but Dusty is my first hen to do it twice in a four month time frame.
