Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do. 
Hi I am just joining the chicken world. We are making an old gazebo into a coop and using a side yard as the run (fenced). I will be getting 6 layinghens when the abode is ready. Weather here in the central valley of california seems like it could be chicken weather (most of the time). I am learning, feel like a soaked sponge!!. I saw this web site among the mega info I am reading and here I am. It is just me and my hubby, and our soon to be "girls". I am a baby boomer so this will keep me busy and out of a little trouble. I better get busy reading and learning from all you chicks, roosters too. Read you later. mercedsoup
