I agree. She will probably go right back to sitting when you are done cleaning. If that is all it took to get a broody unbroody, we would all have very clean coops.

I had a broody a little while ago and I did not want more chicks - I moved her out of the coop every day and put her in the back yard, she kept goin gback to her little nest.

I finally had enough and had to remove that nest for her to give up.

well,,, your right,,,,,she was MAD!! for a hen that would never let me touch her,,, she didnt mind touching me!!! lol
i was wondering why she kept digging holes yesterday and just laying in them,, then after she had her egg she didnt move,,, then this morning,,, no movement,,,,, well maybe i stirred her up enough too not try to go back to it,, ill give em a few hours and go check her,, lol.

thankies guys for all the replies,,,,,,, i just didnt want her messed up in the head like her owner

I move my broodys all the time to clean up under them. They are not sitting on any eggs though. I would have thought they would get tired of sitting on nothing and give up but no such luck, both are sitting pretty, lol.
