No, you can't. They can be encouraged but not forced.

You need some Silkies or Cochins, than you wouldn't have to worry about them going broody. Mine usually went broody atleast four times a year. MUGGSY, my Silkie/Cochin has already been broody twice this year, January and again in March.

Sure you can - two words: Duct Tape

That was a joke - please never use duct tape to fasten your hens to their nests.

There is a way. Get a type of bird that isn't supposed to go broody and lend it to me. I have a broody INDIAN RUNNER!
