Didn't work for me. All I had was wet, shivering, chickens, that returned to the nest as soon as they/she dried out. Several times.
Locking in the chicken tractor worked. Giving them new chicks, worked.
I clean out my nests every day. A broody hen will sit in her favorite next on golf ball, or, nothing at all.
