I have no rooster but I do have a broody hen

[peppersg]

I have a hen that won't get off a nest... I have no rooster so nothing is going to happen in 21, 31 or 41 days.. How do I get her to stop this.. She will let me raise her up and get all of the eggs from her but I am still worried about her..

I break my broodies by putting them on wire bottom cages. You can let her just sit there, but she's going to need full access to food and water because broodies go out 1-4 times a day.

Good luck~

I read on a thread here that you can find fertilized eggs sometimes at health food stores. Maybe go find some to stick under her so you have have some sweet baby chicks?

I have had 3 of my hens go broody in the last week. I don't have a rooster either. I got some fertile eggs from my parents chickens.
