Hello,
Your title is misleading.
I was expecting a discussion on supplementing free ranged chickens with feed, not about them being broody.
Whatever.
Good luck on un-broodifying your girls.

Our 7 hens are free ranging every day in a wooded and semi-grassed area with lots of bugs and so on available. We also feed them layer pellets. However, in recent months, 3 of them (Maran cross Rhode Island Red) have gone broody several times and we wonder if we are feeding them too much? I read somewhere that 30-40g pellets per bird were about right. Does anyone know?
