I have broken the brood by placing the broody girls in a separate pen that doesn't have any nesting boxes. We have a joke about calling the pen "Solitary". It takes about 3 or 4 days to break the brood. I would do it now if the weather was nicer. But about half the the back yard is under water right now. So the broody girls get to stay in the coop for now.
