- It depends on the breed of the hen. Some breeds do not have the tendency to go "broody" or sit on eggs much at all. Others will do it all the time! It does not depend on the time of year. The hen does have to be old enough to lay eggs, but it can be at any age after that. Also, hens may lay less eggs as they grow very old.
- Chickens sit mostly from March to September, but that is chickens. I believe Cochin are the best setters.
- I disagree. Cochin are picky about the eggs they set. Silkies will sit on anything from an egg to a leather boot, and they'd hatch a Golf ball if you give them enough time.
- I think Game fowl are the best hens to use for brooding and rearing chicks. I own a yard full in fact that's the only chickens I have except a few Cornish Games I am raising for food and for eggs. I am always letting go of extra pullets from crosses. You should get a few to add to your pen. Just be careful and get them while they are young because most will beat up or kill your hens if you get them grown. Ive seen it many times.
No matter what the breed, point of lay pullets as they are known will not start laying until their combs [red skin on head specifically] are grown to adult length. By the way, chickens that will sit on anything need to be patted on the back [as a rooster throwing his leg over] to stop them from getting broody, i.e. sitting on eggs forever. They won't lay if they get broody or get a lend of a rooster.
