move them to a different coop or give them a couple of chicks and then take them away. They will stop being broody and start laying in 4 weeks or so.

Me too. I got rid of my Silkies for that reason. I have 2 of my 3 OE's that have been broody for over a month! I've tried kicking them out of the coop, locking them out of the nesting boxes, and giving them a bath. Nothing has worked!! I feel your pain...

Does anyone else think she is starting to look a little "Roostery"?

Jason, try hanging a wire cage (like a rabbit cage) on a wall or the side of the coop. Put the broody in the wire cage. There's something about having all that air under them that breaks them.

Do you take all their eggs? I had to take eggs a few times a day ugh

will try these ideas. I have more olive eggers and a empordanesa that just hatched.
I can put some under them this weekend so I can watch the others or try using the cage idea

My garden is really taking off. I have squash, cucumber, pumpkin, eggplant, garlic, peppers, green beans, peas, corn, lettuce, and tons of different tomatoes. I've even been able to keep out the chickens. -win!!

Nice! I got mine in late, but I have squash on, tomatoes and peppers blooming. I had to replant my cucumbers courtesy of the sowbugs that chomped them to death. I've got to go pick my lettuce today, it's ready.
