I'm afraid that's what I'm going to have to do! She spent an hour trying to get into the coop/nesting box after I closed it off and pushed past the Boss Hen as soon as I opened it for the evening sleepytimes. I removed the ceramic eggs, too. Trying to suggest that hey...maybe...no brooding? Just...hang out and do hen stuff?If you don't want her to be broody, you'll probably have to break her. Most folks do it by putting them in a dog crate with food and water, something to perch on (luke a piece of wood), and no bedding at all. Leave the crate in the coop, and leave them in the crate for a day or two. The idea is to keep their underside cooled off.
And, boy, does she sound stubborn! Haha!
We'll see hahah! She is very stubborn!
