    Frustration in broody cage

    I have a bantam wyandotte who has been broody for 4 weeks. I've been trying to break it, by not letting her in the coop and best during the day. It is -2 degrees celsius during the night, so i thought that would be enough. But to no avail, every night she broods on her roost (really). So today...
