Is there anyway to get a FBCM hen to go Broody?

IMO you don't get a hen to go broody. It helps to have hens with broody characteristics such as Orp's.

You can't.

But - ive heard that if they hear baby chicks it will help them along. I'm not sure how true it is, but not long after I brought home a couple baby ducks I had 2 go broody.
