I'm not having this problem now, but just had a question anyway. I will store whatever answers I get for future reference. Here's my question.
After this weekend, I will have 9 pullets. At some time in the future I'm sure one or all of them will become broody. Since we will have no roosters, there will be no hatching of eggs. How do you get a hen to come out of being broody, when nothing is going to hatch anyway? Or do they know the eggs aren't fertile, and just not get broody?
Thanks,
Valerie
