How do i make my Hen go broody?

[JacinLarkwell]

But the things I know people are still gonna be my conclusion BUT NHR DO GO BROODY I have seen it it with my own eyes 2 of my NHR gone broody

And I have had breeds that supposedly never go broody hatch out as well. That doesn't mean every one will go broody. There is no way to make a bird go broody on command

well my 2 of my New Hampshire gotton broody before i searched it up and it says there known for being broody so im trying to make at least on of my New Hampsire reds go broody again and i ony have 2 ): im but im not gonna force them but in my experience ive seen that New hampsire red moms are the best and they fight for chicks so thats why and. one of them stayed 10 weeks with them my other breeds would be to air headed to do that.

All mothers fight for their babies. That's maternal instincts.

NHR can go broody, all breeds can.

I don't doubt that your bird may have been the best mother. You can find odd ones out in any breed.

Unfortunately broodiness has been bred out of a lot of modern breeds, including NHR. So they aren't really a broody breed, but that doesn't mean they can't go broody.

You're so lucky you managed to find such a good mama.

Unfortunately there is no way to force a hen to go broody, you just have to hope she will make the decision on her own.

Best of luck!

You need to calm down.

Okay. If you want a broody hen, as has been stated earlier in this thread, I suggest you get yourself a couple of nice Buff Orpingtons. In MY experience, they are the BEST. I started out with 8. I think six of them went broody within a few weeks of beginning to lay. They all hatched chicks. They spent that spring and summer taking care of babies. When fall and winter came, they didn't lay because of short daylight hours. Come spring, they each laid a few eggs and went broody again. At this point I only had four. Year three was a repeat of years one and two. I got tired of constantly trying to break them out of their broodiness and they all went to freezer camp. Bottom line, for me, you can't beat Orps for broodiness. But if you want eggs, try another breed.

If you really want your hen(s) to brood, leave a clutch of fake eggs in a dark, comfily padded, inviting place.
Maybe play the sounds of broody clucks.
Some hens cluck in such a way when that it riles up the others and convinces them to set.

i tell my kids none needs to use grammer if there just replying back and asking its like talking but when people write things down in chat they feel like they have to use grammer i do not find using grammar unless its work or job or school or anything important. I encourage them not to use perfect grammer unless its important

I cant
