Hello. I'm new to this forum, but I've been reading all the wonderful posts, and have gained my confindence in raising my chickens. One of my White Sussex chickens is broody - has been for about one week. I would like to follow the advice of many on this forum by placing her in a wire cage until she stops being broody.
I have a couple of questions though....I have a large run...should I put the wire cage (which is big enough for her to move around freely and for food and water) within the run near the coop - or do I separate her completely from the others? Do I leave here there day and night? How will I know she is no longer broody? I would be grateful for advice regarding all these.
Cheers.
