    In the past I have broken broodiness immediately, usually by repeatedly removing them from the nest, and taking away the faux eggs. If the broody hen is in the box at night I move her to the roost.

    When my hens go broody they aren't devoted to the process for the first 2-4 days. Then they settle down and become determined.

    Naomi tried getting her 18 day old chicks on the roost last night. Three managed it, but she came back down when the other three got frantic.

    Naomi is taking excellent care of her first brood of (Tractor Supply) chicks. Two males, two females, not sure on #5 and #6.

    Welcome! I've been reading posts on this thread for a couple years, but I also went back to the first and read them all. Took a while! :th There's a wealth of experience and knowledge here, and very little fussing. It's my favorite thread on BYC.

    I've been pecked by my broodies, but never hard enough to hurt. I appreciate it.

    I lost Tamar this morning, found her deceased in the nesting box. She had a wing injury that I'd been treating, no sign of infection. :confused: Here she is last year, sitting on eggs, turn sound up: She eventually hatched/brooded two chicks.
