Broody again 3 months after hatching? Is this possible?

[bethanyrae]

My large fowl Easter Egger went broody for the first time in April, and hatched out a nice clutch May 4. She's sitting in a nest again.

I'm trying to figure out if this is real enough to order eggs for her. I'd hate to have them arrive only to see her get up leave the nest to join everyone in the yard again.

I've had one other hen go broody more than once, and it was a Buff Orpington, 3 times, a half year apart.

Is this normal behavior to go again after only 3 months?

thanks,
bethanyrae

I have three that have gone broody again and they jsut hatched some about 3 months ago too.
