Broody hens questions

[kiya4jah]

I have wyandotts and heard they can be broody. will the hens get broody w/out a roo?

Hens can go broody without a roo but can't hatch chicks without fertile eggs.

yes a hen doesnt have to have a roo to go broody.she can go broody on her own.

Yep. My Wyandotte is broody and is diligently trying to hatch a golf ball.
