Broody Hen

Okay. We decided to extend our flock by 50% as the two hens we had already were not producing enough eggs to cover our needs. We purchased 2 RIR/Leghorn crosses from a local free range farmer and they are great - two eggs a day in the 80 - 90 gram range.

However since they arrived one of our other hens has gone all broody and it has been nearly 3 weeks since she layed an egg!! The other has decided to only lay every other day. Is there anything I can do or will time just have to take its course?

Sorry I haven't posted for such a long time we have had another new addition to the family in the shape of a little Boy - Charles William born on 29 May 2008.

Looking forward to some assistance from the sites experts.

Regards
