Can't break my broody hen
my hen has gone broody at least 10 times and usually I put her in a dog cage for 3-4 days and she's all good but the last time it took 2 weeks to break and now this time I'm on week 3 and no signs of breaking so what else can I do? I've tried putting her in cold water, tried putting a ice pack...- RodDog
