    That sounds like a great idea, should one of the girls get moody/broody again, I will try that first.

    How to Break a Broody Hen

    A broody hen is worrisome when you don't want her to be broody. I think I broke my hen's (Louise) mood by isolating her in the garage. Not sure if that is an option for you, but it was less than 48 hours and she was her sweet self again. I put in a small heat lamp in a rabbit hutch type...

    How to Break a Broody Hen

    Sunny Side Up, my GLW has been broody for about 12 days. We don't have roosters and don't want to try for chicks in the winter. She isn't eating much and it feels like she might be losing weight. Ugh. I wish I'd read your post 9 days ago. . . so my question is if I put her in a rabbit hutch...
