Hi , I have a gorgeous silver spangled hamburg who I keep for shows only, but she's gone broody! How can I get her off the eggs?

X2I have to do that today with 3 broody hens I have. Here's what I do based on advice from others on BYC. I put them in a pen (doesn't have to be very big...like a wire dog carrier) with food and water. The floor of the wire pen needs to be elevated off the ground so they can't build up the heat required for setting. Might take 3 or 4 days. Some folks go longer. Whatever it take to break the "trance" they seem to be when broody. Good luck to you!
