No. A hen can go broody anytime. It is part of the chickens natural cycle and with domestic birds and artificial heat and light sources a hen can and will brood whenever the mood hits. There is no way to induce broodiness and it is sometimes difficult to stop if the hen sets her mind on brooding a clutch of eggs.
