   I want my hens to start hatching babies. but They are not sitting. I have one hen that will do it. when does she feel like it? do they have a cyle or numbers of eggs she wants to sit on?

   Just so you know, this is in the wrong section.
   
   
   But to answer your question, I don't think you can make a hen go broody. You might try putting a LOT of golf balls in the nesting box to make her go broody, but if that doesn't work, you can always buy or build an incubator.
