Really broody golden comet

[Doodadman]

She is 1 year old and I can't get her out of the box. It's been about three weeks which ought to be enough already! Do I need to be overly concerned?

I had a silkie Cross go broody for nearly 4.5 months...

I had no room for chicks then.

How did you get a comet to go broody??? Teach me your ways, oh master!!!

I've got a Production Red trying to go broody right now. She even encourages the other hens to lay in her nest, then sits the eggs after they leave. It's a hoot watching her coo and cluck like a rooster showing everyone a nice nest spot. She sits all day, then gives up in the evening

I don't think she has it down though. she doesn't seem interested in spending the night on the nest.
