I need to hatch on a schedule and hatch more eggs than broody hens can cover. So I use incubators more than I do broody hens. I do isolate and give any hen that goes broody some eggs to hatch. Or some chicks to raise, if I know they will accept them. As I do enjoy watching a hen taking care of her brood. I also think broody raised chicks are all around healthier than brooder raised chicks.
