We use a sin bin. It is an open wire kennel very airy and no privacy and kept right in the coop with the other girls for a few days. (can take a couple of tries). I have heard of the ice water dunk but never tried it. There is an example of one in the middle of this pic. The one that looks like a jail. It has a wire bottom. Very drafty on the broody's nether regions.

Daughter, thanks for the picture. I suppose my husband could rig something up like that, or repurpose our dog crate into a "sin bin". Today, she was up and moving around (finally), so perhaps she's snapped out of it? Well see, I guess. If not, I'll do as you mentioned. Crossing my fingers here... a broody hen might be fun if she actually had something to brood!
