Broody for more than two months, is that OK

If she's still in good condition it will probably be ok. Keep a close eye on her though because they're more vulnerable to parasite overloads (lice, mites, worms) when they're broody and sometimes all those fluffed out feathers can hide some major weight loss.

I usually break mine if I'm not going to let them sit or give them foster chicks. It's pretty easy and doesn't hurt them at all. I use a wire bottom rabbit hutch and put food/water in with the hen, but nothing that she can use for a nest. The cool air coming up thru the wire seems to help and it usually only takes a couple of days before they give up.

 

She will become emaciated, weak and ill if this goes on for too much longer.

I would give her a couple of day old chicks or break her broodiness as soon as possible.

 

the way I look at it , besides what everyone else is saying is a broody hen doesn't lay eggs, if she isn't hatching anything I would try to stop her.

 

I am somewhere in the middle of all this. It is true they will lose some weight. Like so many things chicken, this will vary with the individual. I'll pick them up and feel how thin they feel, and compare it in a few days. I'll also take her out and force her to be up and about a few times a day, by shooing her outside, distracting with some treat, closing off the nest if she stays with just one, whatever. In many cases this has broken them, in itself, but it took several days. I've broken them, unintentionally, more than once by moving them and the nest and eggs -- I wanted them to be in the "broody coop" where others would not lay and where they could raise their chicks in peace. Only once did I try the wire cage thing, and in 3 days, it did nothing. The only surefire way to "break a broody," IMO, is not break her at all, to give her fertile eggs or chicks.

Two months is a long time. Before I found BYC I actually had one stay broody for six months. She recovered, but did lose more weight than I should have allowed. So now I at least pester them, take them out, etc. if it's not a time I want chicks.
