Hello,
One of my hens went broody and we are trying to break her of it. We don’t have a rooster and can’t hatch/give her any chicks (at our limit).
We have tried removing her from the box every time she gets in, letting her sit on a frozen water bottle and bathing her in cold water. Nothing seems to be working. As of this morning, I put her in a crate with food and water. I feel so bad leaving her in there. Does anyone have suggestions for breaking a broody hen? Also, how long should I leave her in the crate?
