What exactly does the going "broody" mean. I understand it is a time period when the hen wants to incubate her eggs and so she will sit on them. So does this last forever? This book I read said that silkies will lay 105 eggs before going broody. And then what? Do they stop laying eggs forever after that? Or do they return to laying again?
