Granny's gone and done it again

I've had three hens going broody. All of them were Marans. Two blacks and a blue. That's 100% of my Marans! Decided to break them tonight. Pulled them all off their nests, gave them a cool belly bath, which none of them appreciated ("mad as a wet hen") and have them isolated in the little brooder/ grow-out pen, where there are no nests. Usually 3 days in isolation has been sufficient to break broodies in the past, so here's hoping! They all screeched and complained loudly for about 20 minutes but I ignored them.
