    Broody hen for over 30 days

    Our Easter egger, Anna, has been broody for very long now. It has been almost 40 days since she has been back to normal. We’ve dunked her in a cold tub, locked her in our isolation coop, and continues to run into the nest as soon as she’s free. She’s constantly puffed up and angry. We close...
