How to tell if your hen is broody:
She lays very flat..like a pancake
She stops laying
When you take her off she gets right back on and she stays on all night long
She sets for more than three days
She might growl at you or her normal behavior on the nest changes
I find that if I toss them off the nest three days in a row and she returns..she is going to stick

Although I'm only 4 days in, it is sooooo much less stressful doing it his way. By now I normally would have been adjusting the temp a million times and freaking over the humidity. Now its easy peasy 
. My mom, step-Dad, little brother, and little sister came up for the weekend. It was good to see them , its been two years for everyone except my mom. She comes up about every 6 months for a couple days. And of course I somehow come down with strep throat and ended up at urgent care Saturday night getting antibiotics. I've got my mom hooked on chicken and she even already has the perfect coop. Its an old cinderblock shed with a concrete floor and shelves built onto the back wall that could be turned into nest boxes. But , my step-dad still needs convincing lol. He'll give in eventually. They live on just under an acre and luckily are about 200 feet from city limits and the county allows poultry
