Broody 22 week old pullet

[Crystal Chicken]

I have silkies and if you know that breed, you'll know I'm very experienced with broodies . After hearing a couple of stories of hens dying right in their nest because their owners didn't realize they weren't getting up to eat or drink and seeing how scrappy my silkie hens were looking, I gave up on allowing it anymore. We have a dog kennel on the opposite side of the yard, complete with gravel. I put food/water in there and every morning, whoever doesn't leave the coop goes with me to the kennel. At dusk I let them go back to the main coop. The next morning, whoever's left in there comes with me back to the dog kennel. It takes about 4 days to break them, and it's wonderful to see them walk out of the coop the next morning.

Haha yes I have heard that about silkies

I will try that tactic if removing the nest boxes and kicking her out continually doesn't work.

Thank you!
