My Orp and Silkie have been broody for ages - so finally yesterday we got tough. We dunked them both in cold water . (Thanks for posting pics of your dunking Quickcluck)

 

If that didn't work we told them they were heading for a broody cage.

 

Alice was a good girl after her cold bath and stayed out free ranging all day yesterday and got up this morning just like her old self, her comb already looks redder which I understand is a sign that she is getting over it.

 

Mary needed a second dunking later in the day when we found her snuggling down in the run and today she got up got as good as gold

 

OH & I have been out today and quite expected to come home this afternoon to find them snuggled in the nesting box but they weren't they were happily scratching in the run Wohoo

 

Now all I need is for them to start laying again.

Well done - I've never had a broody so thankfully haven't had to do any dunking.

Glad to be of service

Ohhh thanks, that is soooo funny with the little yellow ducks - my Sophie will be going that way if she doesn't come to her senses very quickly this week I must take the computer out to show her!!!

I couldn't believe how quickly it worked for both of them. I was dreading doing the whole broody cage thing. I have to say mine never got rubber ducks in their bath though

And there was me thinking they were essentail

No I think you spoil your girls

I bet you gave them bubbles as well
