Hello everyone, my Rhode Island Red hen wants to sit in hen house like she is sitting on her eggs, except there are not any eggs. She is stuck in the roosting mode, and makes the clucking sound. Sits in there all day and nite, not laying. How can I get break the cycle? She will not eat treats either. Been like this for about a week. Thanks for your help.
 
Hi and

Is she sitting on the roost or in the nest box?

Place her in a different run fast.. or else she might kill herself waiting for the eggs she isnt sitting on to hatch..One of my hens was like that, and i took her out and placed her in a cage outside...and it broke the cycle
