christyrose12 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I have 4 broody orpingtons and it has been going on for over a month now. I thought it only lasted 3 weeks? Every morning and evening I pick them out and they have a drink, something to eat, maybe a dust bath and then back they go. Do you think I should get tough with them and shut the cube door so they cant get back in? Why are they being broody for so long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I think you'll find they can stay broody for about 6 weeks sometimes. You could shut them out, but they'll probably find somewhere else to nest. Only other way is to break the broody with crates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
