Obsessively broody hen any ideas

[The chicken nurd]

So I have a very broody hen who is currently on her 4th night in broody jail due to me trying to let her out today and she went straight back to the nest this is roughly the 8th times she’s gone broody since late May (so about every couple weeks) usually 3 nights in jail works for a while before she decides to go broody again although not every time
I am so done with dealing with this hen going broody does anyone have any ideas on how to encourage her to stop going broody

Let her hatch some eggs?

Rehome or soup.

I had a serial broody one summer, broke her 7 times after letting her hatch in March.
Finally gave her away to someone who wanted a broody, she never went broody again.

I wish we don’t have a rooster and we already have more birds then our city allows so i worry about adding more

I had a very obsessive broody, she would only brood when there were eggs in the nest and stops when they are removed. She was going broody for about 3 months straight, and she finally broke herself now that their egg laying rate has lowered.

In other words you may have to wait it out.
