Any way to prevent brooding?

| I have a bantam coachin who has gone broody five times in the last six months. Google tells me the breed is a little more likely to be broody than most, but dang! She has to be separated for up to 4 days, with all her needs met separately, then goes back to regular chickening. I have no rooster (but did, her bro, he went totally aggro). Brooding is counter to my egg-producing goals. I do collect eggs daily. 💯 She (Duckie) is a great layer when she’s not rustling up everyone else’s eggs. But they all start to shut down laying when she goes. What can I do to prevent this from happening so frequently? Thanks for your input! [link] [comments] |
