Hatchling here 👋🏼

[Jland75]

You should definitely meet my broody hen. She will sit on every single egg ever hatched and also collect them from various places. I have to break her brood at least 6-8 times through the year.

but at least she is a good Mama! Do you cold water dunk her to break her of it?

Hiya, Jana, and welcome to BYC!

To break broodies, (we breed silkies so have a lot of them) we have a metal dog kennel we put them in with just a narrow board for a perch. Set the kennel on something so air comes in from below. Attach the feeder and waterer to the sides so she can't tip them over. Four days and done usually!

We're glad you're here!
