Broody Hen... help

[Beekissed]

Or get some fertile eggs from another chicken breeder.

Or....you can dunk her in a bucket of water about three times real quick...upside down. It works for me about 99% of the time. Three dunks and a toss out of the coop. Changes their minds and doesn't hurt them at all.

so should I just let her be broody and deal with it ? will she eventually get over it ? I guess I wont get eggs from her anymore

Or you could try some of the given suggestions and see if they work......

I think I broke her already somehow..she has not sat in her nest all day today... I had them out of their coop all day today in the yard. Not once did she return to the coop to sit in the nest... we will see... if she starts again I will get a hutch and try that trick... she is a big girl though...
