my broody hens are extremely stubborn...they wouldn't let their babies go until the babies were at least 3months old. As a matter of fact, they chicks seemed to be weaned when the CHICKS left their moms, not the other way around
My last broody just totally up and abandoned her babies (4months old) a week ago. Left the chick coop and went home to the main coop. A few days later, the chicks entered the big coop. She will peck them now, doesn't care about them one single bit. It's only a pair of chicks, a pullet & cockerel, and they stick so close together...it's really sweet
