Whats funny is most people dont like broodys and just want chickens for egg production. Most dont want chicks. I strive for chicks!!

how does one encourage a hen to go broody?

Great idea! Those pet taxis are very handy. I use mine all the time. I need a bigger one.

Well what i did was i didnt collect eggs for two days, so they piled up. I was hoping a hen would claim them.... and she did! The other one, i got lucky, and got her in a trade. Someone didnt want a broody and I did, so i traded a laying hen for her

Ususally hens will go broody if they see eggs and especially if there are other hens going broody and they watch them. It is kind of a jealousy, monkey-see, monkey-do thing. Many of my girls are submitting to the urge now.
