broody hen again

[jbob]

I have a Plymouth rock that it's two years old and she goes broody at least once a month . I have separated her in cage and that seems to fix the problem in a couple of days . She will get broody again. Any ideas. This hen really wants to be a mother. I wonder if I sneak a chick in with her...

Can you get fertile eggs? If she's that persistent I'd let her hatch some. Or you could try to put a couple day old chicks under her to see if she takes to them

I've got a buff bantam that does this too. I've been offered eggs but haven't tried it. I just broke her but if it doesn't take I may take up the offer.
