    Moving broody hen?

    No Broodiness in 3 yrs.

    So I've read up on it, have waited for it to happen, but in 3 yrs. I have not seen any signs of my hens going broody...just wondering what's up with that. Even not collecting eggs for a few days, letting them accumulate to about 10 eggs, hasn't inspired anyone to become broody. Any ideas?

    We recently gave away our Star Spangled Hamburg because he was spurring and scaring me, as well as attacking some of the sweet hens we have.
