Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do. 
We've got our first broody, our RIR. She's been hunkered down on a golf ball for about 2 days now, and claims her flockmate's eggs for her own.
Her flockmate has worms. Joy. So we're worming the entire flock before they start laying.
We're going to leave the broody since we can't eat her eggs anyway. Sheesh.
