Good to see! I think you did a good job and so did the hen.

My One RIR hen is very broody; have been thinking about getting her some hatching eggs to set on since our Roos are apparently not old enough to " do " the hens.

Only 2 left to go. The far right one isn't moving at all, but I'm going to leave that up to Beauty and the very far right one has a beak hole in It! The three in the middle are another hens eggs who loves getting in there before we could block it off!

@merrymutts I waited way too long to truly understand what was going on with my hen. I couldn't bare "breaking" her so if you can get some fertilized eggs and she's happy sitting on them then do it is my suggestion! My girl is so happy especially now.

Thank you!

I have a broody chook for over 3 weeks. My other 2 chooks have stopped laying as well. What do I do, please

After my hen had been broody for about a week, I put her in a cage for 3 days. Food, water, roost, no nesting material. It worked! She was miserable without her pals, and I hated to do it. I didn't raise mine off the ground, and she was on grass.
