Do hens stop laying abruptly in suddenly hot hot weather??

Am I the only one that caught this part? If she is truly broody, she is not laying eggs. The other hens are laying eggs in her nest.

Good catch, egg slippers! OP did you mark the eggs that the broody was on or?

I am having hens confused this week too. Laying one day, acting broody the next, not laying for several days, then they lay in the broody breaker cage, put them back with the hens, and then broody three days later. About five hens doing that right now.

ME TOO! Two hens are broody the third is picking on them for being broody. I can't seem to break the broodyness up even putting them in a wire cage doesn't seem to work. They puff up and squak loud. Do you have any suggestions on how to get everyone back to normal?
