ThanksThat pen should work unless she's extremely dedicated, in which case you'll want to find a way to get some air under her to cool her belly. So far I've not had a problem simply using a pen versus a wire cage. Keep her penned up with food and water, ideally in a secure location within eyesight of the rest of the flock, until she stops showing broody behaviors (the broody cluck, puffing up, obsessing over nest). 2-5 days should do it.
She is really annoyed at me and the other hens keep sitting with her. She still is pacing but calmer today
