making an OEG hen go broody

[dave_Cash69]

i plan on taking my OEG hen and isolating her to herself, placing some eggs in the nest and seeing if it will make her go broody. do you think it will?

yes

Game hens are pretty quick to go broody. I put a bunch of eggs (16) in my hen's nest a while back and she instantly sat on them and hatched them. (well, the hatching part wasn't so instant!)

Of course, there are no guarantees.
