I have a bantam hen that is persistantly broody. I have tried all sorts to encourage her to think again but to no avail! I don't really have the room for any more hens so is there anyone in the area who would like to borrow her for incubating some eggs? She did hatch out some last year and was a fantastic mum. She also seems to stay broody on moving.
If not, has anyone got any tips on stopping broodiness? She isn't sitting on any eggs. Someone else suggested putting her in a box and putting the box at a slight angle ( which did work for one of my others last year) so that it gave her something else to think about. I have tried that and that didn't work.
I do want to hatch out a few guinea fowl this year but I think it is too early for them
