Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do. 
I have 15 Leghorn 6 week old little roos...this morning as I was puttering about doing chores I heard the strangest noise...over and over again I heard this gagging, strangled, awful noise...I started walking about trying to trace the racket and got the the pen housing said little roos...the little jokers were trying to crow! And I gotta say, they weren't doing much of a job of it...they were so darned cute standing there all puffed up and posing...well, the "ladies" are right next door so maybe they were trying to impress them...they need a whole lot more practice before those gaggy noises turn into masculine, full bodied crows...you have to love the inborn ego...
He recently moved to my friends farm. But he's still my baby bird.
