Help Broody Hen

[athgus2802]

My 9month old Brahma has became broody. I have no extra place/cage to put her in. I have locked her out of her nesting box much to her dismay today. It is coming into night now. Should i place cold packs in nest box to encourage her not to nest in there??

For anyone else that is in a similar position. I had no cage/broody breaker to place my hen. I locked her out of nest box for 3 days with success. It helps my other hen is going though a moult at present and didnt require a nesting box.
