Extreme broodieness!!!!!

[prizepete]

If She is so insistent you could just let her hatch, Could that be an option?

 

[GGBEAR]

I was going to do it next time as she has been like this now for over 2 weeks so she should be stopping soon right?

 

[prizepete]

She Could stop, but its also possible that she just wants to raise chicks. Maybe in a week if she is still broody you could give her some eggs. it doesn't have to be a lot. It could be 3 eggs or more. as long as she can cover the eggs you are good.

 

[GGBEAR]

Will she be OK even though she has been doing this now for over 2 weeks as she is only young and I don't want to loose her

 

[prizepete]

have you seen her get up to get food and water?

 

[GGBEAR]

Yes every day she comes out does a great big stinky poo eats some food then goes back if I haven't seen her I physically remove her

 

[prizepete]

ok. how long has she been broody

 

[GGBEAR]

Roughly 25 days my husband has just said

 

[prizepete]

Honestly At this point if you can't stop her just give her a few eggs to hatch, or you could also purchase a few chicks and put them under her and see if she will accept them

 

[GGBEAR]

Do you think that might work? And if I put some eggs under her it will not make her ill?
If I get chicks what do I need to do either way I'm a complete novice I would like her to stay in coop with other chickens and ducks
