So I could use some advice here..... have Sebright bantam hen who seems to be broody.. she sits on other hens eggs for hours at a time but won't lay her own, and is actually plucking her own breast feathers... now the problem is I don't have a rooster so she has no chicks to hatch in those eggs, and I can't give her fertilized eggs because I can't have anymore chickens.. so I'm at a loss as to what I should do. Any advice is much appreciated!!

I would suggest trying to break her from being broody.
Do you have a cage you could lock her up in with no bedding/nest area for a few days?
