I love answering your questions, but I have responded to the same few questions probably a few hundred times, so I will pin my answers to those here. Why Tennis balls? This sport is called table tennis in some parts of the world and I misspoke. You can call it what you like, I’m tired or arguing semantics. Why can’t she keep the eggs? These aren’t her eggs, she nest in the communal lay box and every day my other hens lay in her box. I take them away because I have to sell them. Why can’t she hatch chicks? She can’t hatch any chicks because it is too dangerous from predator attacks at my coop to let her safely have chicks. The predators are ravens. Why do I have to take the balls away? I want her to stop being broody, and taking away all eggs and egg like objects is important for this. I just give her these balls to better understand her behaviour. Why don’t I break her brood? She has been broody 4 times this year, and I didn’t know of an effective treatment for her at the time. I have since broken her brood and she is happy and normal again. I am more than happy to answer any questions you have and would love to hear your thoughts and ideas about Peanut here. Have a good day. 🐔❤️ (Edit) I edit this comment periodically when people have questions I didn’t properly answer and need to clarify.

As someone who has only seen a chicken once in their life because that was a meanie butt who charged and tore up my knee when I was 7, you should absolutely take away her eggs so she forgets about them in one day and make her not so angry so someday when a 7 year old is walking by, she doesn’t decide to circle and attack them and break the cycle

You should just expand the coop or build another. If she's that desperate to be a mom you should at least let 1 egg hatch. It's so sad that she's trying so hard.

Something to try would be removing nesting materials. Hens don't particularly care about nests unless they're broody, and not having a nest can break broods. Alternatively I've also stuck an ice pack under a hen. When she's broody her abdomen warms up, so cooling that down also has an effect. Not recommended for cold weather, but it's actually enjoyed in the summer.

@stephanienoire1892 9 ай бұрын

I know way too much about broody hens considering I've never been responsible for any chickens. Except one hen whom we babysat for a couple days. And now thinking on it, it's weird they just had the one hen. Thinking further it's probably because her other pet hens were eaten by coyotes. They didn't have a guard dog or anything. It's kind of morbid!

With hens, you should just remove the eggs regardless. Hens will generally stop eating when broody and if you don't have a Rooster to fertilise them, they could be broody for days, even weeks. Removing the eggs breaks the cycle quicker. I don't know why anyone would replace the eggs with something else.

@mylifewithmarmalade4624 9 ай бұрын

Some clarification on this from a former vet tech: The goal of “dummy eggs” is to stop the bird laying. Stopping them laying reduces egg binding risk. It is excessive laying which predisposes birds to egg binding. The more they lay the more they deplete the minerals needed for strong shells, the more inflammation builds up in the reproductive tract, and the more they exhaust the muscles involved in laying. At some point you will get an egg that gets stuck because it’s too soft, too rough, or too mis-shappen to be expelled, or because the bird has too much internal damage to be able to lay even a perfectly fine egg. If you see egg binding develop after introducing dummy eggs that’s a good sign that they were introduced after the bird had already been laying too long, or was not in good condition to be laying in the first place. The dummy eggs didn’t cause the egg binding. They simply weren’t able to stop laying before the egg binding occurred.

@mylifewithmarmalade4624 9 ай бұрын

@@adamg4336with chickens you wouldn’t. The whole goal is to get more eggs. Dummy eggs are used in exotic birds because they haven’t been bred for hundreds of years to be able to lay almost constantly. If exotics start laying and can’t “complete” the expected clutch size, they will keep laying once they start, and they are then at huge risk for egg binding and other severe health problems. So dummy eggs are used to complete the clutch, turn them broody, and therefore stop the laying and hit the reset. Most exotics will still take breaks to eat while brooding and in many species both parents share incubation responsibilities. So brooding is less risky for them than continued laying.

@@bittercharmer1591Well if you think about it an unfertilized egg could be considered underutilized too. 🤔

I think you should break her brood, since it's not likely she will set. They are an amazing breed, but not great at everything. It's ok, they're not all setters.

I would suggest you get her own set of ping pong balls. Replace the eggs you take with the same number of ping pong balls, so she doesn't feel bad. She obviously has a very strong motherly instinct.
