broody hen?

[chickens12]

hello i was wondering how to tell when a hen goes broody im wanting to experience having a hen raise her own but i dont know how to tell if a hen is broody thanks!

If a hen is broody, she will set on her eggs and not leave them unless it is for a short time to eat/drink. She might become a little more aggresive to you and to other hens. There might be other ways to tell, but I think that those are the main ways. Anybody have anything to add?
