Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

[Badger Farm]

It isn't all that unusual. If has been that long, it is best to push her off the nest at least once or twice a day. I did that with Mocha; she went straight to the dust bath, then ate, drank, pooped and went back to the nest.

By "push", I mean literally push or pick up and set down a foot or so off the nest or some such thing. Some hens might take direction without physically moving them; Mocha has been the only one I had who went broody so I don't know about that part.

Thank you! I will do that starting tomorrow morning.
