Prevention of broodiness???

Still no eggs but I'm okay as long as she is not broody . She lost some weight but looks better already.
She won't resume laying for a couple of weeks, as broodiness takes some condition from their body. Depending on her age (if she's older than a year) she may go straight into fall molt and not start laying again until spring, but if she's younger she may mini molt and then pick back up again in a couple of weeks.

Interesting.... None of my 3 girls who have gone broody have molted at all.

You mean afterwards? They don't all do it. Like I only know one of my recent broodies is molting because she's the only cuckoo-ed bird, and there's cuckoo feathers all over the place. But she looks perfectly full feathered.
