    How to break a broody chicken

    One of my JG, just went broody. I put her in a kennel outside of the pen. Put it up of the ground to get good airflow. It only took three days to break her. Now my question is, when will she start laying again? Thx

    egg eating hen

    I’ve read through the comments which were very informative. Although what I have seen is soft shelled eggs being torn into and no yolks. I have seen it four times now. They are new layers 6 months old. I’ve seen some weird behavior of the two. They are Jersey giants. It’s like they can’t make up...

    I have a PBR and you have described her to a T. She is 8 mos. but still has not layed anyway that I can tell. Don't think I will get any again.

    Egglaying

    update on my PBR not laying. She is now 8 months old and so far I have seen no eggs from her. She could be laying outside some where, but I don't know where. She seems to be healthy. She is out running around with the rest of her sisters. She has a red cone. I guess I will just keep on looking.
