My First Broody Hen

[riseupsunshine]

We have 3 hens and one that has only been laying for almost a month has been broody. Unfortunately, we had to sell our rooster about 3 weeks ago so I doubt her eggs are still fertile. I would love for her to hatch us a chick or 2. I had to make her get out of the nesting box and she was so hungry poor girl! What do I need to do to break her?

Place her in a wire bottom cage with no bedding. The idea is to let air get to her underside.

You could also check Craigslist for a few hatching eggs if you'd really like chicks
