Breaking broody without jail?

[afieldssnowyegger]

Is there a way I can break my broody pullet without separating her from the flock? I’ve taken her eggs away but she’s being very stubborn about it.

She can't be allowed to sit on nesting material or it's a long drawn out situation that may or may not finally break her brood.

Caging is the fastest and easiest on all involved method. She'll carry on for the first day but that beats the alternative.

A COLD bath. Soak her all up.

Switch the eggs with ice cubes.

There's a couple of ideas. Hopefully something will work.

Caging her in view of the flock (coop or run) is the best bet, so no problems reintegrating in afterwards.
