Broody Silkie Without Eggs

[CochinBrahmaLover]

And I just thought of one more question. Our weather here had been cooling down - lows in the 40s or low 50s and highs in the 60s and then we got a warm snap where the highs have been in the 80s and lows in the 60s. This warm snap seems to correspond with the beginning of the broodiness. Is that just coincidence or does my Silkie think it is spring? When it gets cooler again on Sunday - highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s - will she stop being broody on her own and I won't need to go the hatching egg route?

A hen won't listen to the weather She listens to her hormone levels, while they can be influenced by the warm snap, she will stay hormonel so stay broody.
