My 3rd broody in 2 months is really stubborn. We have already hatched chicks with the other two and don't have room for more so I need to break her. I have been taking her off the nest several times a day for about a week, and it's not worked. So today I'm trying something different. I don't have a wire cage, but I do have a 3'x3' brooder with a flat wooden bottom I can use. The sides are all chicken wire so plenty of airflow moving across. I put her in there today with food, water, and a roosting bar. She's pretty upset, lol. Would this box possibly work despite it not having airflow coming up through the bottom? Should I take her out to be with the flock during the day (without access to nests)? Thank you!
