I'm having problems with a broody polish.
I have tried to seperate her to another area several times but she is not interested in sitting anywhere except in the nesting boxes. I've tried moving her at night, only to find her pacing back in forth in the pen in the morning. I've had a broody in the nesting boxes before, but other ladies would come and kick the broody off her eggs and the broody would find another box and not come back to the original one. I've read where other people block off a nest for a broody.
My question is what do you use to block off a nest? How do you attach it so that you can remove it to let her out? My boxes are wooden.
Any suggestions?
