We have a laying chicken who has been broody for over a month. She has stopped laying and is hogging the nesting boxes, what do we do? We really don't want to eat her!
Answers:
We have a chicken like that as well. Just make sure you collect all the eggs everyday, that way it is harder for her to become broody. Also try wearing leather working gloves, that way if she pecks you it doesn't hurt as much!:) It is kind of sad that a small chicken can be so mean. If you are really desperate get a chicken egg that is fertilized and let the chicken hatch it out and care for it.
get her some fake eggs to sit on
You could only threaten to eat her, that might work.
Give it some C ock
You can't - they won't change because they are too chicken.
When u said that she wont lay eggs anymore this one time in 5th grade some 1 brough in a chicken and we gave her a lot of attion (Petted her and said she was pretty lol) and she laid an egg. i dont know if that would work.
Lock her in a shed for sevan days with food and water, she must have no other company and has no access to nesting boxes. It does work, sometimes they do go broody after but you have to stick with it!! good luck!
dnt eat her!!
you need to get her out of the nest box. Put her in a dog cage or similar in a light airy place and do not allow her to go into nest boxes. It can be very hard to break a determined broody. I can't understand why you would kill her simply for being a good broody? People who breed poultry like me,value good broodies. If you didn't want a breed that went broody why didn't you go for a 'non sitting' breed like a hybrid, or leghorn, or Hamburgh etc?
get some of that laying mash to feed her and in a while she should be laying again
