Yes you can make a hen go broody, it will take a bit of time, but it can be done, I have done it many of times.

You take the hen and put her in a box that is totally dark, just enough room for her to sit in there, keep her in that box, let her out once a day to eat, drink, and poo, then put her back in there. Give her a hand full of golf balls or fake eggs. It may take a day or 2 or maybe even a week, but it can be done. I have done it many of times, it does work. Some breeds it dont work so well and some breeds it works very easy.............
Yes! This method was featured in Backyard Poultry magazine.

And I actually will be trying this in the spring and I'm hoping to get either one of my buff orps and barred rock to do this! Good luck!
 
That is very interesting tamvan. I can't wait to try it!
