I have 6 orpingtons that are 1 year old. As soon as one gets over being broody, another one starts. Is this normal? I've tried putting them in a cage and it doesn't seem to help. Just wondering what I can do this to make it stop. Thanks!
 
Your cage needs to not allow them to sit tight and heat up, some, just moving them, will stop them, others need a wire bottom off the ground as mentioned, so they can't heat up.
