Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do. 
My pekin pair have been laying since I've gotten them several weeks ago. At first I collected eggs but couldn't sell them for more than $2/doz. So then I noticed that I had dropped a slake of hay & she created her nest & started laying there. Every a.m. she's there sitting on her eggs. During these ~80' days, she waddles around w her husband. Evening, she returns to sitting.
Is this a broody duck? I've understood that pekins aren't the best hatchers but wth? There are about 10 eggs in there.
TIA.... Priscilla
