Sweetie is broody again

I was out with the flock a couple days ago and I realized that Sweetie was making a strange clucking noise; the same that she had made when she was broody. Well, as it turned out she was broody. Luckily we managed to snap her out of it in a couple days.

Breaking a broody habit is not easy, especially for very determined hens. When Snickers and Checkers have laid their eggs, I usually chuck Sweetie out of the henhouse and shut the door. This at least makes her get up, take a drink, and walk around for a while.

This is the second time this has happened to Sweetie and I bet that it won't be the last!!!
