    Breaking Broody Hen in Wire Box - Won't Sit Down

    What a great photo. Thanks for sharing. Chickens are such funny little creatures! I'm thrilled that Phoebe, our girl, is back to her normal self. When she turns broody again, I'll have a lot more tools to help her through it, thanks to everyone on this forum.
