Can I put two broodies together in broody jail?

[zimileih]

I have two broody hens currently. One has been broody for a month. I keep pulling her off the nest multiple times a day but she not giving up. The other has been at it for a little over a week. I think at this point I need to put them in a dog kennel with food and water. Could I put them both in the same one, or do they need different cages?

I'm getting worried for my girl who won't give up even after a month

They might be able to share a cage, depending on how they act.

I would put them both in and watch to see what happens. If you see a problem, take one back out again. You can break one and then do the other, if they will not get along with each other.

I've had 2 in a breaker at once but they were both fairly mild tempered and the breaker I was using was spacious (16 sq ft).

My hen i got because she was broody and the old owner didnt want a hen who kept going broody...so i took her. Wouldn't you know the car ride brought her out of it. Maybe try a nice ride in a safe carrier? She just went broody with us the first time a bit ago but we have her hatching eggs for us so its okay but we have had her a year and a half.

Now that's thinking outside the box (cage)!
