Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.

I have a hen that went broody last week. I ordered some fertile eggs and probably won't get them for about a week. How long can I expect my hen to stay broody?

Okay good. I was worried she wouldn't be broody long enough to hatch some eggs. Thank you!
