Breaking Up a Broody Hen. 
Can you tell me the most approved 
method of “breaking up” a broody hen 
—a Rhode Island Red for instance? 
Scientific poultrymen must have improved 
over the old method of imprisonment or 
a cold ducking. Should the patient be 
well fed or starved? l. j. s. 
Connecticut. 
There are probably few things that 
could more quickly put a crimp into 
“science” than the attempt to break up 
broodiness in some hens. My own method 
is to remove the broody hen to roomy 
and comfortable quarters where there 
are no nests or places to make them. A 
small, open-front shed guarded by poul¬ 
try netting and lifted with perches serves 
my purpose. Here the broody ones stay, 
with plenty of water and food until they 
stop clucking, when they are put back 
into the poultry house. The signal to 
return them is frequently given by an 
egg upon the floor- In their new quarters 
my Leghorns do not attempt to sit, and 
it is usually only a matter of a few days 
before they can be trusted to go hack to 
their jobs. Mat y poultry houses tire pro¬ 
vided with boxes having slatted fronts 
and bottoms nailed up against the wall 
in some convenient place. Here the 
broody hen is confined until her dreams 
of raising a family are forgotten, or at 
least, foregone. Starving isn’t necessary, 
and the cold ducking should be adminis¬ 
tered. if at all, to the owner, tie is 
usually the one who needs cooling off 
when he finds his layers sitting. A com¬ 
plete change of environment. with 
humane care, will probably accomplish 
the desired end as quickly as it can be 
done, and the more promptly this is 
brought about when signs of broodiness 
supervene the more satisfactory will 
be the results. m. b. n.
