I have a pekin chicken around a year old. She has gone broody on me. I have tried everything to break her.
I have wet her, even given her a bath.
Kept her in the house for a couple of hours.
Cooled her underside down as she has pulled her feathers out.
I have taken all the eggs away what else can I try??
How long do they stay broody for??
I keep moving her off the nest and she eats and gets a drink and I swear she waits for me to leave then jumps back in her nest. I would shut the door but my other chickens gets upset if I do that.
She even bundles the hay in a ball shape to sit on. Is it possible to stop this Or am I wasting my time??
Thanks
