tidygirlsuk Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I've tried turffing her out of net box but just goes straight back. I can't close it of because one other bantam is 23 weeks crouching so on the verge of laying and my other bantam is laying and not layed for 4 days which is very strange but another story. So, I've but broody in dog crate, how long to be safe till i put her back ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Untill she's stopped being broody You could try dunking her in water to cool her down and try to snap her out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenLdn Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I tried dunking Hermione in the pond twice a day for 4 days! It didn't make the slightest bit of difference to her! You should have heard the names she was calling me! (and the neighbours started to think I was mad!) She has now been broody for about 5 weeks! Surely they only normally last the length of a normal incubation period? 21 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 3 full days and nights is usually what it takes for my broody to snap out of it once she's in the broody cage. I didn't find dunking helped either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
