Hello. I have three hens and live in Northern California. For going on three weeks, one (best layer) is obsessively sitting in her nest, trying to hatch invisible eggs. I don't know what to do about it. I have tried:
* Locking her out of the nest during the day. She just walks around fluffed up and clucks and then runs back in as soon as she can.
* Sitting her in a cold water bath (not ice water) for four minutes to lower her temperature because the Internet told me it works. It didn't do anything.
This is really affecting my egg production. How can I break her of this??
Thanks.
