6 weeks on and still broody

[Danzelpantha]

anyone know what I’m doing wrong six weeks on and I still have 1 Broody hen, I had 2 others go broody and come out with 1. Chucking them on the roost at night and 2. Using a broody buster, but I still have one stubborn chicken that doesn’t want to come out, I’ve tried the peas and water trick but still have a pissed off chicken when you go near her and still returning to the nest to broody.

That said I can chuck the chicken in the roost at night now (this has happened for the last week or so) and she will stay there now, before she would jump off and run to the nest box or I’d put her in the broody buster (a cat box made out of wire) at night

Put her in a wire bottom crate for 3-5 days. Stop letting her out. Provide feed and water. Some can take longer to break than other.
