Brood hens

[FunkyFowl]

Im trying to get one of my hens to set a batch of eggs but none of them seem to be brood hens is there a way to make one of them a brood hen or something else i can try other then a incubator???

You are at the mercy of their desire to be a mama.

Unless you have an incubator.

a while back I was looking for plans for a brooder and found this old book:

if you check out page 68 it talks about how to get a hen to set on eggs. I would presume that it works since the guy took the time to write about it. YMMV.
