Breaking a broody is easy as pie!

I tried playing McMurray hatchery You Tube videos with the sound turned up to my broody for about an hour the other day. She was annoyed that I was bugging her, and she's still on the nest. :/

Maybe I need to figure out how to put those videos (or some other chick sound) on a continuous loop and just leave it out there for a few hours.....

We locked my broody in a small run by herself with no nest-just food and water. It took a couple days, but she's broken now. She does seem to be low chicken on the totem pole now though.

What, no TV in your coop? How else can they watch chick flicks? (Or was it a peep show?)

I moved my broody to a room in the shop for a few days. She was pretty irritated and frantic the first couple days, then just flat hacked off at me. I left her there for another couple days just to make sure.
