3 of my 24 hens have been extremely broody for the past 3 weeks or so (one buff orpington and two white cochins). I keep taking their eggs, becuase I don't want any babies going into winter, but they still just sit there on empty nests,screeching at me whenever I walk by. How long will they be like this? Should I chase them off the nests or just leave them alone?
Maybe in the spring, I'll let them hatch some out, but with the rooster being a Polish, I just can't imagine what the chicks would look like
