Broody Buff symptoms fixed

[Chicken_man_J]

Research on here showed me how to break a "broody hen" by putting in chicken jail. Constructed the jail and put one of my Buff's in and waited 4 days before reintroducing her to the flock and it worked. Kept her in the jail during the day outside under shade with water and food, put the jail in the coop at night for 4 days once reintroduced, she was back to normal laying and not being broody!

Great! I’m glad it worked for you.

Usually it takes at least a week before the start laying again.

She was in jail approx 3-4 weeks ago, posted after she didn't return to her broodiness.
