I know my uncle used to put them in a gunny sack and hang them up for a couple days, he said they'd get over it fast that way. I never tried it, thought they might die or something. When they are still laying eggs, they usually aren't broody. Does she make the "cluck, cluck" sound? They always do when they are broody. When you take them off the nest they will just sit on the ground where you put them,get all fluffy, and do the cluck cluck thing. Then they will get right back in the nest She might just like to baby her egg for a while. Heavy breeds tend to sit on their eggs for a while longer then the light breeds after they lay them. Leghorns and manorca's usually just drop their eggs and run. I've never had one that went broody until they were at least a year old.
