Broody season!

I would remove the eggs as soon as you can because that will just spur her one and yes, broodiness does seem to be catching, so watch the others.

Ignore the fuss when you move her off the nest.  They do holler and chuck chuck at you in a most annoyed way, but they are fine and soon accept being shut out and start looking for food, dust bathing and preening.  She will be more stressed if she gets dehydrated or starved.

Mine are bantams so they can go broody for weeks on end, but post what breeds you have and if I don't have any answers for you, there's loads of experts on here who can help with advice or just a sounding board to reassure you.

I am very glad to say my buff rock is now coming out of being broody.  I shut her out of the house from 11am yesterday as all had laid by then and she seemed much more settled.  She was slower to rush back in once I opened the pop hole in the evening aswell.  This morning she came out on her own but did go back in.  I was out all day and on our return late this afternoon she was out of her own accord and was dust bathing.  She has just made a racket to say she was about to or has just laid an egg.  Probably a false alarm!  Her comb looks much redder today - mixed in with purple!  I thought she might have a fungal infection on her comb as it looked like a white powder on it.  Sprayed it with the purple anti bacterial and anti fungal spray.  She looks like a punk rocker at the moment. I am so glad she is getting back to her normal self

Hi Hawkins
If there is a shady area under trees for them to get out of the heat I don't see why you can't shut them out of the coop.  There would certainly be no harm in trying.  Mine laid at different times but at the moment they are mostly laying in the morning (I only have 3 laying at the moment).  As soon as they had laid I shut them out of the coop.  If I went into the run before the others had laid I would always lift the broody out - she usually went straight back in once I left mind you.  Hope yours comes out of being broody soon.

I have more broody than laying too!  Would love to stick some eggs under 1 or 2, but I have run out of space     I only have my quarantine pen empty, and I really dont like to use that, cos thats the top way to get a sick bird    so long as I have a quarantine, i wont need it!

I have a banty who has gone broody and laying eggs too quickly so I've had a couple of soft shells. This morning she was laying on one of the others eggs with her own to one side so I lifted her out and took the eggs away. She had her food and then straight back to the nestbox. Once all had laid I took her out again and shut the coop off - she was cross! The odd thing was she pecked at two of the others on their necks a few times so they stayed out of her way. I think I may try the cold wash treatment tomorrow if it goes on, or the ice pack wrapped in a cloth. Good luck to everyone - I find it quite distressing to watch, so I guess you all do too.

OMG im going to cry no sonner had we shut dotty out of the shed and broken her broody cycle. Katie has gone broody again. Only started today so I have borrowed a friends dog cage and she is going in it tomorrow. I cant just shut the coop door on this one and keep her out as she jumps the electric fencing and likes to go broody up on top of the hay bales really close to the roof where it is boling hot.   

Silly chickens.
