Jossy Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi all Over the last year I have tried to get my hens out of their broodiness ... Now one of them has been looking broody for the past couple of days .. Pancake like, clucking, not wanting to come out of the nest box... So why does she decide to get up and go out just as I've bought 12 eggs to put under her!! So my question is how do I get her really broody so she will sit on the eggs when they come? I have put fake eggs in the nest box in the hope she will stay They are worse than teenagers sometimes .. Honestly! Xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Make sure she is separated.. And make sure no others can get her and peck her out of the nest, put under fake eggs and wait until the eggs arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jossy Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks will try that fingers crossed.. They won't arrive till Wednesday then we will have to wait a couple of days to settle so hopefully by then she will get the idea X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
