Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do. Wubba

I dreamt that I was approaching the coop and the chickens seemed more agitated than usual. I opened the drop- for on the nest box to look for eggs...I realized I was there super early and probably wouldn't find eggs yet... as I tried to look into the egg box, it became very dark and I couldn't see a thing so I just started feeling around...I pulled out a couple of my fake eggs that I leave in there, confirmed they were fake and put them back. Then, I got hit by something flying out the hen house, right through the nest box at me. It was a small apple! Then another, and another! The chickens all seemed to be mad at me. I could see them in the house glaring at me from the roosts as the apples were whizzing past my head.
Somehow, I managed to squeeze my head past the openings of the nest box (not possible, unless I'm a giraffe, but anyhow...) into the hen house. Then I could see. I saw where they had made a nest and must've hidden the eggs from me...there were like 20 freshly hatched chicks! (I woke up.)
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Hahaha!
