I've had a broody hen in a wire cage, no bedding, elevated with a couple bricks for eleven days and she is still broody - stays fluffed up even in the cage. This is third time in about 4 months she has gone broody. Each time I have used the cage method she was broken of it in four days but not this time. The only difference has been that this time I kept the cage in a detached garage rather than in the coop itself. What else can I do? I even caught the broody behavior sooner this time than in the past! Very frustrating and not good for the hen. Any advice appreciated.
