Will my hens go broody again

[Pahlavinka]

I have 2 hens that both went broody last year about this time of year (early june). They don't seem to be showing any signs of doing it this year. They are 2 years old. 1 thing to mention is that last year I hatched chicks in May with an incubator and shorty after letting them outside these hens went broody. So i don't know if that induced them or if they were going to do it anyway. I've never had experience with broodies prior to this. Any help would be appreciated.

They will probably go broody very soon. I didn't my 3 year old hen was going to go broody this year because she passed last years date by a couple of weeks. She did & hatched 6 chicks almost 2 weeks ago. Be patient and good luck.

They'll go broody if their hormones tell them to. So far I haven't had any broodies yet this year, last year my Buff Orp went broody twice.
