Broody Hen Now Rejected by Flock

How was this resolved? I have the same issue. She’s been broody for a week and the other chickens reject her. I haven’t tried anything yet to help her snap out of being broody.

How was this resolved? I have the same issue. She’s been broody for a week and the other chickens reject her. I haven’t tried anything yet to help her snap out of being broody.

I had the exact same issue back about 2 weeks ago with a hen that had been broody for too long, I didn’t have a place to break her because my broody jail was being used at the time for a hen and her chicks, so finally she broke herself about the same time I was integrating the mom and chicks into the flock and boy was all the chickens giving her a hard time! I didn’t think they were ever going to accept her back into the flock. But they accepted the mom and chicks in just find. She would spend most of her days running and hiding out in the coop and she was skinny and I thought I was gonna lose her but then all of a sudden after about a week I noticed she wasn’t hiding out no more in the coop she was hanging out with the flock and no one was harassing her! So I think it just takes time but eventually she will be accepted
