Broody Hen getting attacked by other hens

[Ritakprkns]

Our 6 month old hen has gone broody. 3 days now. The other pullets (same age) have started attacking her. She is not hatching any eggs.
Question: should we break her broody phase? Will it help her readjust to the flock? Is the attacking due to the others noticing a difference in her?

If you're not going to have her sit on eggs and hatch them, you should break her.

We are thinking of placing her in an xtra large crate with food and water. How long does it take to break a hen from this state?

I would break her, both because you're not hatching and because it's causing conflict. And yes her behavior is setting them off, because it's different than normal.

Typically around 48 hours. Some a little sooner, some can take longer. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/broody-breaking-ala-aart.77915/
