I had 6 broodies all at once, but now I'm down to just 2. They should get over it soon I'm guessing. My turkey is another story, she's been sitting on an empty nest for 2 months. You'd think she would get it figured out sooner or later. You can clip the wings to keep them from flying over the fence. I had to put a fence around one of my flower gardens, cause the hens decided that they wanted to dig holes in it, and displaced one of my newly planted day lilies. I like to let them free range in the summer.
