How to break a broody hen?

[The ChickenKing]

Hey everyone, I have a friend who has two hens who have been broody for about a month now, and he's concerned over the lack of eggs and wants to break them of their broodiness. Does anybody have methods that will work? Thanks

I use the wire bottom method.

The air circulation under the hen is supposed to help. So if you put your chicken in a hutch or cage with no "nest" available (wire floor for example)- that is supposed to do it. It may take a week. I tried for a day or two in the past and sometimes it stopped the brooding and sometimes it didn't.

Make sure that predators cannot get the hen's toes if it is a wire floor. Put something there so the predators cannot reach through and grab the hen.

All I have left available is a dog cage/crate and that is what I would use now if I needed to. Just a change of scenery and no nest around may do it.
