Chicken bald back

[L Marques]

What can I do to snap them out of it?

There are 4chickens and 3 of them are really broody so not getting any eggs last year they were broody for months,what can I do I gave them cold baths last year and it never worked.

Not sure about your set up...but there are a few threads running on broodiness, have a look at those and if I were you I'd invest in a wire cat carrier (or similar) to use as an anti-broody coop. My pekins are a nightmare and mine has been used 3 times already this year!!!!! In to the anti broody coop, raised on bricks or similar for 3 days & nights straight with food and water....does the trick!

Keep them all completely away from any form of nest! It may well take longer than 3 days if they are very broody it might be 5 days +.
