Will she stay broody?

[CountryHeart06]

I just ordered my first set of hatching eggs because I have a hen who is broody. The earliest I could get the eggs was May 17th-19th. My question is will she still be broody by then? And is there a way to keep her broody?

You can encourage a hen's broody nature by providing her a dark, safe place to sit on the eggs. Hang some curtains across the front of the nesting boxes, even a piece of sheet or fabric will help convince her the nest is a secret place to raise her chicks.
