Hello!
Ive got an ayam cemani hen thats been broody since the middle of autumn and I've tried everything in the book to break her from it. Shes been separated, had cold plunges, thrown out of the box constantly. Ive tried blocking the nesting boxes for a few days amd it seemed she had broke but as soon as I removed the covers (I had to as other chickens in the coop are still laying) she went right back in there. Shes not even sitting on anything. I had thought she would be done with this by now because even if she had hatched eggs, it wouldnt have taken this long
. I would honestly continue to wait it out but her being lean already and using extra energy to stay broody shes lost a large percentage of her weight, though shes still healthy its not good enough for the below zero weather coming up. Even though the inside of their coop is heated and consistently stays above freezing I still really need her out of that box.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions and comments!
