Trying to break Miss Broody

So tinier poops too!

They're still broody poops!

Her poops are falling through the crate no problem. I put a 1” x 2” piece of wood in the crate so she can still perch. I’ll try to keep her in the crate as much as I can and maybe give her a little extra corn if it’s colder out at night. Supposed to be getting another foot of snow this week. So that should add to the fun

Happy news! (If anyone is still seeing this. Lol) After a month of being broody (it took me a long time to figure out that was what was happening -chicken novice), I was able to break my little freeloading slacker. 3 days and 2 nights of being in the broody breaker worked! It was quite cold out... So that must have helped the progress. I put her back in the coop hours ago and she was happily scratching around outside on her own! Hooray!

Love it when a plan comes together.

Next time you will be able to see the signs faster, and breaking her will be much easier.

Well done!
