I have a 7 month old possibly broody Barnevelder who wouldn’t leave the nesting box today, growls when anything comes near. I took her out and had her eat and drink but she went right back to the box. I removed her two more times and set her on the roost (it’s dark around 5pm here) but she hopped down each time. I can get a kennel or section off an area in the coop for her but I’m concerned she will get too cold by herself. Anyone have experience breaking a broody in these temps? Low tonight 6 degrees, 10 degrees tomorrow night, high 15 degrees. She’s at the bottom of the pecking order. Coop is uninsulated and not heated.
