Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do. 
Score--- just went out to finish late night chores (pick peacock eggs, water brooders, check incubators, give calf a bottle) when the dog barked by the pheasant pens.
After watching her for a bit she went back to a tree- where she had tree'd a coon. She is only about 18 months old so is still learning. Cause I knew she would not stay at the tree; I ran to the house to get the gun and ran back.
Shot the coon, score another as it was an adult female.
Lesson for tonight- to old and fat to run that far, need to train the dog to stay at the tree!
