Extremely broody hen is pulling out her feathers

[Aliviasoko]

Hi everyone, I have a 2 year old bantam Cochin frizzle hen who is constantly broody and will not stop. I don’t remember the last time I got eggs from her. She was broody all summer and now has started doing it again. This time around she is pulling all of her feathers out on her stomach. I let her hatch eggs over the summer thinking it might help but now she’s gotten worse. Any suggestions on how to move forward? I’m worried about her.

Break her broodiness with a dog cage with no bedding or tray, just a roost and food/water. Prolonged broodiness will weaken and kill her

Yes, don't let her stay broody, but also, even though that feather pulling looks a little extreme, broody hens do pull out stomach feathers to expose eggs to greater warmth.
