Broody Chickens

[1235467]

I have a Bantam hen who is broody and she will peck me when I try to collect the eggs. I am worried she is not very healthy sitting there a lot as she is quite small anyway, and may lose weight? How can I stop her being broody?

I strongly suggest the raised wire-bottomed cage method.

Thank you! I will have a try.
