Broody breaking experiment: "The bunny cage method"

[PippinTheChicken]

Forgot to update yesterday

Day 3/4
in cage until late afternoon, when I let her out she stayed outside for a very long time before returning to the coop. When she went to the nest, she seemed a bit confused and hesitant to sit down.

Day 5
Left the coop by herself this morning! Very unusual for Raven. I put her in the cage just to be safe, but she's very close to being broken!

Can confirm this method works. I've had to do it twice this spring and worked out in 48 hours.

Raven's been out for hours. Still not coming into the coop.
Meanwhile...

Getting dark. I think she might be in now, but it's the longest she's been out today!

I'd love to hear more from you about this! Any pics? When this experiment is over I'll be making an article about it and it would be great to have more sources!
