Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do. 
My chickens are escape artists! I could not get one of the lower coop doors to latch this AM, but it was wedged very tightly into the frame, so I didnt think it was a problem. I meant to have my husband help me, but forgot all about it. I went inside, took care of things, cooked lunch, watched tv all over the course of about 3-4 hours. All the sudden I hear my husband say "did you let the chickens out"? Uhhh no!!!!They must have all worked together on that one!
There were five hawks circling the yard when I went out! Luckily a little sharp cheddar cheese lured them back to the coop! Needless to say the coop is locked up tight now!
