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

Hello, I'm new here but have gained a wealth of knowledge from you all.
I have a little flock of 6 old ladies, 5 pekin bantams and a white silkie. I hatched them in my kitchen about 8 years ago. There were more but I've recently lost a few...due to old age I expect. I've also homed 3 lots of ex bats but as I should have expected they didn't make old bones. They did enjoy their days of freedom and all survived a few years of retirement.
I also have 3 dogs, 2 cats and 2 parrots as well as grown up twins and a long suffering husband so life is busy!
I've also just had 2 hatchings so have 3 3 day old silkies and 3 mixed houdan and silkie 17 day olds
Thanks to everyone for the great advice and wisdom here
