I've used this method with great success. I do have one career broody that is immune to this and I finally broke down and let her sit on some eggs. She is sitting right now, day 5, and doing a wonderful job.
I don't really use especially cold water(usually in the dog bucket) , I just hold them upside down by their feet, dunk them quickly two or three times and turn 'em loose. It usually changes their minds pretty quickly. I have used this alot and have only had the one aforementioned hen that will persist after doing this.
