Is it common for a hen to go broody multiple times during the season? My Blue Orpington went broody and hatched 13 eggs in April. Now she's broody again.

I pretty certain Orps are one of the broodier breeds...my mutt Orpington/Austrolorp has done the same thing! She hatched out in March and hers are due again on July 4th!
