Will they go broody?

[PepsNick]

So, I have 6 hens. There is a BO, EE, BR, White Leghorn, BSL, and a Dark Brahma. No rooster. They are almost the size of layers, maybe about 2 more weeks.

Do you think they will ever (in their life) go broody? Do most hens? At what age? Because I want little chickies SO badly! (There is a store near me that sells fertile eggs) Thanks. Any help means a lot.

BO, EE, BR, and Dark Bramah are all known to be "setters"

wow! awesome! at what age?

They will set when they are good and ready, so it is hard to say just when they will set.

Mine have been going broody since before the snow melted.......and still going...........You'll get the broodies there's no doubt with that combinations of hens!

My Bo (third time this year) and BR are both broody right now and 2/3 EE's have been broody twice already this year so I think it's likely that you'll have a broody or two next Spring.
