When a hen goes broody she is ready and willing to sit on a clutch of eggs. She will lay some of her own and in many cases she will roll eggs from other hens under herself. She will stop all other activities for 21 day at this point and will refuse to leave the nest for more than a few minutes each day to eat,drink and defaecate.

Oh come on people,,, one rooster per every 15 hens is quite sufficient to fertilize your next spring out birth. After spring kick him out, if you think you can leave him and you see the rooster picks your hens to death, throw him out, and leave him on the outskirsts. Hens will lay, feathers will grow, and as long as you gave him springtime, you'll have chicks. Watch your brood hens and you can still gather eggs from the lonesome nests. Let your hens choose their laying field. Sometimes 2 hens take over the same eggs. Let them be. They will work it out, it's called survival. You'll find 2 hens taking care of the same growth, without any rivaltism. You'll have chicks that follow 2 brood hens with twice the coverage from the other hens. You have 11 eggs, 2 hens in interest, 6 eggs hatch, neither mother knows who is who and they defend these 6 chicks against the other 14 hens until one day all the hens look over the young. This is their survival.
