Here is our solution, much to our dismay...our broody BR hen showed all the symptoms described in the posts above, determined to stay on the next box. We have only hens, no roosters, so there was no way she was going to have a hatch. We went on line to search for fertile eggs we could buy: found none in reasonable distance. We went on country drive, searching for chicken yards, stopping and chatting, asking to buy fertile eggs for her and finally we were able to buy a half dozen. As soon as we set them in her next, she popped off, refused to sit on them, and joined the rest of the flock, broody no longer. So, what gives? ~G
