Broody hen question

[New2TheCoop]

I have a hen that has been broody for about 10 days, my question is, if I put eggs under her now, will she hatch them out? Or should I just wait on another hen to go broody?

She'll hatch 'em.

I have a lot of hens who've sat around being broody with nothing under them for up to 60 days until I finally had the chance to break them.

Give her some eggs! She wants to have some babies and nothing is as endearing as watching a momma hen and her babies.

you're lucky to have a broody hen and not a broody male pigeon... i gave him some chicken eggs and both of my male pigeons are sitting on some eggs...
