How do I un- broody my hen???

[<3 N.C Chicken Chick <3]

I need my hen snow to stop being broody.

I take the eggs because I'am already raising 2 chicks in the winter and don't want more

She has been for 2-4 weeks. She is verry commited.

Snow is a white silkie hen. How do I un-broody her. I'am haveing a hen shortage.

3 hens 2 beloved roos. 2 hens broody. They have hen savers, and the roos kind of keep each other monitored

Help!

I've heard something about dipping their butts in cold water...? Unsure of how true that is.

Can you leave her outside in a secluded pen during the day? I have the ultimate silkie broody. She stays broody months at a time. Had to put my foot down and boot her out. Put her in a pen by herself for 3 days...(not nights). It broke her immediately. Especially works with this chilly weather.

I heard a good suggestion from somewhere - putting her in a cage with a wire bottom so the air can come up and well, cool her down.

I've heard a day or two in one of those can break them of it.

This is what I do and it has worked for me but sometimes it can take up to a week.​

Cage with a wire bottom, or you could ship her to me!
