We tried water early on when it was difficult to break her but we seem to have developed a ritual that works, it's just a pain to deal with! I love my Australorps though 😊
That's what I was figuring will happen, was just curious if hatching chicks could possibly satisfy that innate nature. Who knows, maybe I'll try it 🤷🏻♀️
I have a 4 yr old Black Australorp hen that goes broody every 4-5 weeks from Feb - Oct / Nov. She's easy to break, generally 2 days in a cage. She's never hatched chicks & we haven't had a rooster for a couple of years. If I were to obtain a couple of fertilized eggs and allow her to hatch them...
