I was hoping I wouldn't have to ask this question BUT...is there a cure for broody hens? We have 5 hens all about 7.5 months old that seems to have gone through a hierarchy shuffle in the past week ish. The aftermath is the largest hen of the flock a buff orpington has what seem to me to have gone broody. Guess I need to back up a bit and add this. We have a second flock of pullets Various ages from about 10 weeks to 4 weeks which is a whole other story. We just started letting the young birds out in a small pen in the older girls run. I'm wondering if this has affected the broodyness of the Orpington. HELP if you can PLEASE
