Help! We noticed that one of our 26 week old Buff Orps is going broody. She initially started sleeping in the nesting box and now she's taking up permanent residency there. to the point that the other 2 hens have to go in and squeeze in the box to lay. She won't move! We push her out and she's right back in there, all puffed up and broody. I've read about the cage idea to lower her temperature, should I keep her outside in the run? The coop isn't that big (4'x4') Should I provide another nesting box for the other 2 and let her go? Any input is appreciated!
