I have a Hedemora hen, just 6 months old, and I have found her several times in the nesting box sitting on a couple eggs. I have seen my other hens line up for the favoured nesting box, because this hen is sitting there. I just thought she needed more time to do her business, but today I found her sitting in the box for 3 hours. I thought most hends did not go broody until their second year, and usually in the spring. So would you agree that she is broody? I have 10 Yocohama eggs that I was about to put into one of my incubators. I could really use the space, so if she could sit on these eggs, that would be perfect. And to not have to keep them in a brooder after, would be lovely.
