At what age do hens go broody?

Yes, they can go broody the first year and if you have any eggs you want to hatch throw a cloth over her and and place them in the nest but if you dont want to hatch any you should leave her alone for 2 and a half weeks to 3 weeks

My golden sex link went broody at 6 months old. She'd only been laying about 3 weeks. She hatched out 3 babies.
