The EASIEST way to stop a hen being broody - lock her out, not up!

Most systems for stopping a hen being broody lock her up in a cage that's cool, breezy and has nowhere for her to sit comfortably and brood.
But there's an easier way - just lock her out of the chicken run! It works to reduce the prolactin hormone in her body by keeping her active and in a cool and bright environment away from those eggs. And it's absolutely no hassle for me to do.

If you want to know how to recognise broodiness and why you should consider stopping it, check out my earlier video here:
