Once summer hits, their broodiness seems to vanish. I have one hen who is a great brooder and she's the only one who gets to set.

I have had to do that with several hens in the past. It takes a few days. Then they may need to go to "time out" for a few more days. But that usually stops the broodiness for awhile. Good luck with the new broody pen!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754379649711551718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-54534158146363205862013-08-04T13:43:02.222-05:002013-08-04T13:43:02.222-05:00Tell Paul my hubby feels the same way.

Why waste 21 days of no eggs from that chicken that I know aren't going to hatch anyway, because something always goes wrong? Darnit, I just want to hatch some damned baby chicks of my own!(As I stomp my foot and have a temper tantrum.)EverStuff Shrimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667345859717089119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-92048482345046988252013-08-04T09:14:57.174-05:002013-08-04T09:14:57.174-05:00We got a nice rain yesterday too, my garden looks ...We got a nice rain yesterday too, my garden looks like a jungle ☺<br />I have a new mamma with five babies under her penned up in a cage. It's been to muggy and buggy to butcher Hannibal so she's still around and I have to protect the littles. Having two sets of mammas and babies has added more to my usual work load. My whole day is spent outside scooping broody poo, checking waters, and reloading food trays. It's worth it though, they are soo cute.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326069783582536184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-67883613431544555972013-08-04T02:25:53.877-05:002013-08-04T02:25:53.877-05:00Broody hens with psychological issues.

Other than the bald faced hornets (of which I've never heard and hope to never meet), your critter woes sound strangely familiar. <br /><br />I congratulate you on your frequent rains -- sigh...that must be so nice...

I found an egg breaker the other day so she may have to leave in the next couple of days. She's going after the new chicks too.Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-1333247726871174582013-08-03T22:11:38.825-05:002013-08-03T22:11:38.825-05:00HAHA Enchilada Chicken I love it :)
