I wish some of my hens would go broody! I'd gladly switch broodyness with you!

Yes, my girls are housed in the horse stables for the winter, it's only partly insulated and heated but the temps hoover just above freezing around the clock.

It's siberia outside so I guess that's good

Apart from one heat lamp per pen (I have 3 pens), they have overhead light from 9am to 5pm-ish and that's about it.

I have NO CLUE what is going on.

*shakes head*

My RIR hen, who is barely 8 months old, has been in the Broody Breaker Box for a week now and shows NO SIGNS of quitting.

I put my white leghorn in there too, hopefully her hormones will break faster...

I need the space for my broody sexlinks next, so hurry up girls! Vacate!
