I have 2 cochin girls that have gone broody - in the past the one i have put Ella in chicken solitary / in a wire crate for 5 days and that sorts her our for quite a while. now Rhiana has also gone broody, we are having temperatures well below freezing at night and I think it would be dangerous to put them in solitary.
Will it hurt them if i just let them set until they figure it out?
how long do they usually set on the nest when they go broody?
I know couchins tend to do this - and i am ok with that as we are getting enough eggs for us, i just want to be sure that they will at some point stop on their own and start laying again.
Thanks
