She's not an Australorpe, her legs appear to be feathered so I'm assuming she's a Langshan.

if she is broody know she will go broody again in the spring, so wait. if you chose the hard way give her about a dozen.

did she hatch anything?

If you block her in and she's not done laying eggs, you could have a staggered hatch where in she may just kick out the later eggs thinking they're not gonna hatch. Usually they'll sit for just around 24 hours once the first one hatches. I've never had a broody sit longer than 2 days after first hatch waiting on the rest of the eggs. Or you could start getting chickie development in those eggs you have her sitting on now and she decides she's not ready yet.

Broody....

I'm sure. To brake the broodiness you have to put her away from her nest. In another pen or crate with ligth.


Pomponia, second time in 2 1/2 months. Now she's going to be a mother.

.... She is 10 months.
