Hi folks. I have two banty hens that seem to be going broody. They don't want to get out of the nest boxes. I don't want any more banty hens, so I thought about placing other eggs underneath them. Question is, my boxes are 4 feet off the ground at least and it is very cold here. How can I get them to postpone their intentions until a later date? Also, I figure I should move them to a private area but how private do I need? I really don't have time right now to build another pen. I have 30 some odd hens and one rooster in a large barn. Any help is appreciated.
