Some hens may never go broody. There is no magic number of eggs that she'll lay before she sits. It really depends more on the breed and disposition of the hen.

It's a hormonal thing and if her hormones don't kick in she's not going to go broody. If she's from a hatchery and especially certain breeds, it's a trait that has been bred out of them.
