Broody hen HELP!

[Lukeloveberry]

I also have a another hen that I'm trying to get to go broody. She has 13 eggs in my barn and she isn't incubating them and I was wondering if you had a idea on how to get her to do it??? Thank you so much for your help!

No.........You cannot force a Hen to brood.......They either have the hormones to go Broody or they don't ..?

Ok. I have a broody bantam, I really want her eggs to hatch but I did not see the bantam roster mating with her. ( I have I bantam roster and one hen )

I am sure your not out there 24 hours a day........I am sure he breeds them if they are of breeding age?.....
