Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do. 
Raising chickens has been a labor of love. We bought a house on land that had a chicken coop on it. We bought baby chicks, rebuilt the coop (in that order) learned more and more and more about chickens and now have 5 in the coop and 7 in the brooder! Chicken math is real and these babies are just pure joy.
