Chicken_man 1,651 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Have some pot or rubber eggs in a nest pre prepared for her, that usualy does the trick. Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ukroosterman 548 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 She will go broody when she's ready no sooner no later.... But it helps to have the nest out the way and darkend of and clean nesting materials.... I've heard man say take cock away but never seem to work for myself..... The best method I found is prosumeing she as sizeabill clutch of eggs is to increase the whole corn in her feed... Or better yet feed her strictly whole corn and she will go broody within a few days..... Whole corn is engergie and ecsess engergie turns in to heat in her body and intesces her to go broody.... But the best it is just patient and she will go down in her own time when she's ready!... She knows what's she doing have faith.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bootsha 1,306 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 i have always found hens to go broody when mother nature tells them to, but i will try the whole corn thing myself to see if it works. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
