How can you stop them from "going" broody?, I am looking to acquire orpingtons (buff),and have been told they are so "broody", that I may want to look at a different breed-I don't think so, lovem' too much!-, so, if I can understand how to help keep this from happening as much,maybe I will be able to "enjoy" the eggs a little more. I do not have any birds at this time, but am looking, so that I may start things in the spring. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I have a2 hole 24" x 48" show coop on my main coop wall. Anytime a hen goes broody too early, she is put in that for 4-5 days...until she stops clucking. Works like a charm.How can you stop them from "going" broody?, I am looking to acquire orpingtons (buff),and have been told they are so "broody", that I may want to look at a different breed-I don't think so, lovem' too much!-, so, if I can understand how to help keep this from happening as much,maybe I will be able to "enjoy" the eggs a little more.

thank you,...would you happen to have a picture of this set-up? I appreciate your quick response
Any small cage will work. Like a rabbit cage is what I use. They are a broody breed. But easy to manage. You won't go wrong with orpingtons.thank you,...would you happen to have a picture of this set-up? I appreciate your quick response
