lagrange chicks
Songster
I will need to break her of her broodiness.The question is, what do you want. Do you want more chicks (are you able to handle more chicks),do you want her to stay broody, or would you prefer to break her?
If breaking her is what you'd like, then @Lacy Duckwing has given you some great tips.
If you'd like for her to care for some chicks, or hatch some eggs, then do what @Mrs. K has given you a good plan to follow. Roll away nesting boxes aren't the best nesting boxes for a broody hen. As you've already discovered, she's having a hard time keeping eggs under her. You'll have to either wait 21 days or so, and give her some chicks, or move her to a nest more suited for brooding, and hope she doesn't break
