We have had our chickens for 18 months now and in that time our white Sussex has been broody approximately 12 times. She seems in a constant cycle, where by she’ll be broody for a month, snap out of it and just about start laying again and then go broody again, usually after only 2-3 weeks. It spaced out a little more through the winter but she was still doing it.
We’ve broken her in a wire cage a handful of times, but other methods don’t work.
I understand this happens and I’m not against her doing it, but this frequently just doesn’t seem good for her. She’s not getting much of a life and she’s not that healthy because she spends long periods of time not looking after herself.
Just wondered if anyone has had similar and has any ideas?

. At least my girl would eat and drink normally while in jail so her condition is still decent.
