Can hearing a rooster crowing make hens go broody? Even if it's on TV?

You and me both, and perhaps a side of Matt Damon or Brad Pitt

Buffs are just broody gals, a rooster crowing on TV wouldn't make them do much of anything. A few days in broody jail will get her sorted

I tell her gently that she can't become a mother until she's "been with" a boy...

Hens do not seem to recognize which eggs they laid, or which chicks might be their own actual offspring, so if you do want more chickens you could buy fertile eggs for her to sit on and hatch, or you could let her sit on fake eggs for about 3 weeks and then buy chicks for her to raise.

Or of course you could decide that she does not get to have chicks, and work on breaking her broodiness as several other people have mentioned.

Well, I will say that seeing George Clooney or Denzel Washington on TV might stir up my hormones a bit, at age 70.
