Oh Good luck Vic, you could put her into a special box with a wire floor for a couple of days and put it on breeze blocks each side so that the cooler air get to her keel, this gets her out of the broody situation - do this for about 4 days, feed and water her in the box of course.

Hi vic, agree with orpy if you want to stop your birds being broody you should make them as uncomfortable as possible, they soon get fed up. Good luck with your show plans, hope it goes well for you, let me know. all the best,
