Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do. 
I came home today to discover 4 of my girls had escaped!!! The sliding door has a few inches of space and the ones that could squeezed through! They are bored silly and have all started plucking my glw! Now that ground is exposed, they want out!!! I have never seen a hawk, there are no wandering dogs, though both my neighbors have dogs, my yard is fenced. I'm thinking of letting them loose and crossing my fingers!
