I have a hen that is a year old. She is a mixed hen and when not broody a great layer. But about the last 3 months she is continually broody. Currently we are going on about a month straight. We have dunked her in cold water several times a day. We have crated her for 3-4 days at a time. She is so stubborn. I throw her out of the box several times a day and she'll stay out for 30 minutes or so and then goes right back up. The other hens of course like to lay in one nest and it gets backed up and there have been many occasions I find the 4 of them laying on eachother. Normally i would get 4 eggs a day. Now its 1-2 a day if im lucky. She has thrown everybody off!!! The other hens are now pecking her because they are so aggrevated with her too!!!
Help! I dont know what to do!!!
