Increased Eggs

[Orpingtonlover]

I was just wondering if i add eggs to the nest my Patridge rock is making will she go broody faster?

You can try, but there is no guarantee she will go broody on you.

You can't "make" a hen go broody if she doesn't feel like being broody.
Mine go broody at the most inconvenient times, like when I have a huge list of customers wanting fresh eggs. LOL
