egg not hatched broody wont give up!

Recommended Posts

Anyone any ideas how to deal with this...?

Isabel went broody and we allowed her to sit on just three eggs from our best hens, as restricting numbers of chicks (had 8 hatch with Gabby), but something got in and took 2 of the eggs when she got off the nest to eat . Now the third egg hasn't hatched and she will not leave it. She gets very distressed if you shut her out.

How do I bring her back to normal, or should I get her some more fertile eggs to sit on?

I really feel she's been there long enough and could do with moving and eating normally.
