This is my two years old black sexlink,she is definitly broody,she won`t get out of the box and she growls at you when you get near her.We have been taking her out of the box and puting her outdoor and closing the coop up hoping she would get over it but as soon as she get back in she is in the box again.The others push her around and lay there eggs and she takes them and puts them under herself.So today I said to dh well if she wants babies I will put fake eggs under her and put her in a cage(the box she was in is high up and if she did hatch babies they would fall to there death)so thats what we did,she had a fit would not lay on the eggs upset her water and food pacing back and forth and sreeching,then did the broody stinky poo and had to leave the coop it was so bad.So I took her out and put her outside again thinking that all that had just happened to her was to tramatic and she would foget about the boody thing,NOWAY as soon as I opened the coop up cause it was going to rain,back up in the high nesting box she went again and in I went again put her back in the cage,she will stay there for a few days when she can`t be outside with the coop closed up.Worked hard the last two days and got the big and little coops cleaned out and new bedding down,windows washed walls vacumed.Glad for the shavings with the poo in it for my gardens.Was thinking if broody would have stayed in cage when my four orpington chicks come the 3rd of May I was going to try slipping them under her and see if she would have accepted them as her own.
