my broody hen...

...is trying very hard to hatch a golf ball. I keep taking her out of the nest box, but she is jumping right back in. Any advice other then what I have read regarding a wire-bottom cage? We have only three hens, no rooster, and I don't want to give her fertile eggs to hatch. She is a real sweetie, so I can keep taking her out without any pecking.

You could try just putting her in a dog crate or something with no bedding in it just line it with newspaper and give her a few days.

Thanks, that would be pretty easy for me to set up. I'll give it a go!
