You have probably covered this time and time again but I have so little time to read all of the old posts I am hopeful one of you can help me. I have a broodie hen who has been sitting on her eggs for about 4 weeks now. Obviously it is far past time for hatching. I cracked one open and it was ROTTEN. What do I do now? How do I convince my "lady" to stop sitting. She still growls at me when I come near and picks at me when I put my hand under her. Even if I take the eggs away she is going to continue to sit.
