The last month we've had 3 broody hens. Typically this isn't an issue because we always have a rooster who has fertilized our chicken eggs. Our usual practice is to just allow our hens to sit on her eggs for 3 weeks and hatch her own baby chicks. Right now all of our roosters are too young to fertilize the hens eggs. So we tried a new method of breaking a hens broodiness by bringing 7 day old baby chicks for the broody hens to adopt. Its been 2 weeks and so far everything has worked out perfectly.
