Yes I'd say she was pretty young at the time to be deeply into broodiness. Hormones increase as they age. Most of my broodiest hens always started when they were very young. I'll bet she's going to be a great broody and a wonderful mother!6 barely 7 months old. They were sold to me as 4 month olds, but they mightve been slightly younger. I should mention that she was sitting for 11-12 days. She got eggs 4 days later, thus day 8 for the eggs
