I have a broody hen who I think is throwing her "sisters" off. She's been broody for about 3 weeks now. I've tried separating her from the flock, removing her from her nesting spot each day--no dice. She just goes right back to the nest box. She's laying an egg daily, but the rest of the hens seem to have stopped laying. She's sitting in the spot where they lay all day, so I wonder if they are confused about where to lay? Or, could her behavior be influencing them to stop laying? Any advice would be much appreciated!
