6 week broody, will she continue to sit?

[Fluffbuttnewbie]

Hi, thats pretty much my question...I have a Splash Astrolorp, 13 months old, that already went broody 3 times. This last time, she is been at it for over 6 weeks. I take the eggs, kick her out, lock her out, she seems fine and then right back at it. Is it too late in the game to give her some fertilized eggs? What are the chances she'll see it through for another 3 weeks?

Depends how physically depleted she is. If she's getting too pale I would break her and expect her to be broody again in a few weeks. If she still has color and is clucking like a broody I would give her eggs, and see.
