Confinement contributing to going broody?

[DeadDogClub]

If I cage a hen in a reasonably sized kennel with food and water for 24-48 hours so I can identify the type of egg she is laying, will it contribute to or cause her to her go broody?

I don't want to cause her stress, but even if she didn't produce, the egg the other hen laid could be better identified.

I cannot tell the difference between the two and I really want/need to for breeding purposes.

Thanks for your time!

It will not cause her to go broody.

Never has for me. I've pulled hens to a similar enclosure to see who is laying, or what color egg a particular hen lays. I keep them there up to three days.

I wish it would make them go broody. I'd have a hen in that cage every blessed day
