Tips on having Broody Hens

[LilJoe]

Can anyone give me tips on having a broody hen. I have two breeds that are most prone to broodiness, cochins and silkies.

Broodiness can only be brought on by hormonal changes - theres nothing we can do to "facilitate" the process. If you are asking how to manage a broody hen / setting eggs etc, then I'd suggest using the search box there are lots of threads to choose from.

Best of luck
