Yay, now she has gone full-on crazed psycho broody hen. It’s going to be super fun breaking the diarrhea queen of her raging hormones

She looks so serious

Well, a broody usually only poops once a day, so who know what that will be like.

You don't want to let her sit?

Breaking can sometimes be fairly easy, sometimes more difficult.
Good luck!

So funny enough, I just mentioned to my wife the other day that I was not seeing as much diarrhea in the coop. As soon as this hen fluffed up and squealed at me, I knew why

Our Buff Orpingtons were always a nightmare to break. Very stubborn.

This hen has always run somewhat faux broody, but I can tell this time is different. She means business

Do you want chicks

Do you want chicks

No, lol. We have three new pullets in the mix and we’re capped out. I don’t think we can handle anymore chicken drama this year.

Hopefully you can break her fairly easy.

Thanks for the response. No respiratory illness that I am aware of. I’ve never seen signs or symptoms of IBV.

We’ve tried multiple sources of probiotics, as well as supplements like Hydro Hen and Chicken E-lixer at the recommendation of the vet.

Poop is getting picked up off the poop board daily to every other day depending on the work schedule. We do keep our coop pretty clean. I do use PDZ to help absorb some moisture and keep things dry. Definitely try to prevent flies and the possibility of fly strike as much as possible.

I’ll try to get pics of eggs and poop tomorrow.

have you tried sourkraut?

Chicken Drama...good phrase. I know exactly what it means

Many people use a wire dog crate set up on blocks for air circulation underneath, and no bedding, but food and water, for breaking. I have a 6x7x5 foot tall pen outside on the ground that has a 2x4 roost bar. It works great with a tarp cover cor shade. Mine spend 2 days being mad at me pacing or sitting on the roost. Then, they will peck around at the grass or some eggs or scratch. I had so many that went broody, they would usually have a roommate while in there for 3-5 days. The stubborn ones may need a couple more days.
