San Diego Chicken meetup and Chat thread

Alright fellow chicken people, I need help. My bantam cochin has been broody for **** near 4 months now. We have tried everything to no avail. I am not worried about her not laying as her eggs were teeny anyways. I just worry about her health as she doesn't come out to eat/drink much.

Is my only option to stick fertile eggs/day old chicks under her? And if I do, does anyone want the chicks, cause we are full up. She is being a bad influence as now I have a BO that won't quit brooding either.

Bout all you can do is put some falsies under them. Then locate some day olds and put them under them. they should be no older than three days old. I would do at least three chicks a piece. Then they will get off the nests to raise em up. If you get feed store chicks the day they bring them home then you have a guarantee of females should be easy to sell them on Craigslist when they are feathered out.

bring em up to room temp and pop em in the incubator. The hatch may be lower than non refrigerated but I bet you get some chickies out of it. They have only been in there two days.
