how do I make her broody?

[clucking with my chicken]

hi,
IV got a chicken named oreo, she is an only chicken and she looks lonely,
anyway she went broody about 3 months ago and I had to break it because she had just been recovering from worms and lost major amount of weight,
so now I want her broody before meh best friend (oreo lol) died of loneness,
you may be thinking "why can't you just buy her som friends duhh"
we'll I did and she killed her out of jealousy and angry.
she takes all the attention from me!
so I need her to have chicks raised by her and have the same germs as her so they don't pass on any forren germs.
and she will have a bigger coop and a bigger family
please tell me how to get her broody!

You can't make a hen go broody, you can encourage her by putting golf balls in her nesting box. That's about it, it's all due to hormones which humans can't control. I wish you the best of luck, though!

Step one:
You can’t.

Sorry, but hens don’t work that way... they go broody with their body "tells them to", not when we act upon them to encourage broodiness oftentimes.

Did you integrate the “friend” properly? Your hen needs time to get use to another chicken. It’s best to split your coop/run in half or keep the “friend” in something like a dog cage. Integration can sometimes take a couple of months. I think it’s best and safest to keep at least three chickens, if one dies and you only have two, you’ll be back to square one.

As everyone else said, you can’t make hens go broody.

Technically you can't but you may be able to encourage Broodiness by leaving eggs or fake eggs.

Wait patiently. If she was broody once she will eventually go broody in her own good time.
