Girl gone Broody

So L.S. (little shit) has gone broody.  I don't think she realizes that those golf balls she's sitting on aren't going to hatch anytime soon. She is just ready to be a mother I guess. This happens from time to time and there are many ways to break the broodiness, but I need to figure out a solution stat. She's guarding those eggs like a pit bull in a junkyard. I mean damn I almost lost my hand trying to get the remaining eggs that weren't nestled under her. TLC or A&E, I have a new episode for you. Chickens that hoard. I mean seriously, would you mess with this crazy Lady?


Fore! (get it? she's sitting on golf balls)


My plan is to give her a couple more days and see if she will just get bored or move on. If not I will remove the balls and eggs and see if that will break her. If not, I may have to place some chicks under her, so she can experience motherhood. Oh mama, I'm not ready for more chicks.

    I'm going to share this with my friend who has chickens (http://pearlthesquirrel.blogspot.com/2011/06/egg-and-i.html) and see if she's got a solution.

    I am glad I found your blog. It will be a good guide to meeting my goal...eventually.

    Sorry about your broody chicken. My parents have had two female dogs go "broody".....carry a fake baby (toy) around and act like they really have a pup. It is strange, and then they get disinterested in it.
