I just had hens from last summer, and this spring two hens got broody. Fortunately only one is serious, the other can be easily attracted by food (she will immediately come out for seeing what to eat )
The serious one really wants to hatch and can stay inside for the entire day, on the eggs from her sisters. I tried blocking her out of the coop and at the end, she chose to sit on a specific spot, imaging she is hatching some invisible eggs.
So finally we got 10 fertilized eggs for her. She also takes full responsibility of them.
