Will they go broody?

[jenni22776rn]

Kind of a silly question...I now have a roo among my flock..my little BO Roo roo is going to be 5 months next week...I have 3 adult ladies ranging from 2--3yrs old...they have never gone broody..I have a RIR, light Brahama and Black Australorp...as well as my 5 month BO pullett..my question is...now that there is a rooster in the flock..will they go broody? I know he is still too young...but my adult ladies want nothing to do with him or my other young BO...will it stay that way? Will my ladies feel the need to go broody once my roo is old enough to "date"?

Thanks!!

I added a roo in a hen only pen and a week later I had 2 go broody. Not sure if its because of the roo or because its springtime or both.
