How do I get her out of the brooding mode!? I am extremely new to this. In fact it just sorta happened, a neighbors chicken layed under my bush and now I am trying to figure out how to assist the hen. I think she is past her date for hatching since it has been at least 24 days now. I don't want her to starve. What do I do to get her off the nest?
 
If you want to break her of her broodiness try separating her from where she is nesting. does she have fertile eggs under her?
 
I have the same problem. My eggs under my hen never developed and she is sitting like lock down. I am wondering if I take her eggs or just lock her out of my brood cage. I don't want her to loose her gentleness with my kids. She previously let them play with her chicks
