Broody

[Yep I Talk To Chickens]

I know you can't force a hen broody. I want chicks around but dont want to have to set up my incubator or the brood. So is there anyway to get a hen to go broody? Or give a better chance of a hen going broody?

Leave some eggs in the nesting box.
See if that works.

Ok I currently have a couple fake eggs in there because thats the only way they will lay in them
