That's all I gave her, it's called birth control

She actually went broody sitting on my gooses eggs, well that wasn't going to work since it was in my geese bedroom so I took her and set her up in the dog crate and gave her 4 goose eggs, well they weren't any good so took them away and gave her 4 just laid that day duck eggs, she was happy as a duck could be, never even moved.

Boy ain't that the truth, my almost 9year old[July] laid an egg this morning.

now you watch she'll want to sit next, I had to go out and stick my hand under 2 butts of fluff this morning already trying to discourage this disease called broodiness.

works for me with my Runners. I leave 2 ceramic eggs in there and n a matter of a week or 2 Penelope is broody.
