For the past week or so I have been battling one broody hen. 2-3 times a day I'll remove her from the nesting box and put her back in the run with the rest of her flock-- where she'll proceed to eat and drink. Yesterday morning I blocked off her favorite nesting box. Since then she has resorted to hanging out in front of the nesting box instead (laying down). If I continue the current routine of removing her multiple times a day will she eventually break the habit? Or do I need to move onto other measures? I want to avoid closing up the hen house for the day because I don't want the other laying hens to start laying in the run.
