Just got to thinking . . .

if I have only hens and no roosters, will they still go broody or do they know better? Sorry for the stupid question!

LThey don't know any better...

OK thanks! I have 6 year olds and no broody ones, when does it start?

 

[RoostersCrow]

Many hens will never go broody. If you want to try to get them leave 6 to 8 eggs/golfballs in a nest. The visual que seems to be a trigger.

Nope, don't want it, just hoping it doesn't happen. Thanks for the info!
