Any way to prevent brooding?

Any way to prevent brooding?

I have a bantam coachin who has gone broody five times in the last six months.

Google tells me the breed is a little more likely to be broody than most, but dang!

She has to be separated for up to 4 days, with all her needs met separately, then goes back to regular chickening.

I have no rooster (but did, her bro, he went totally aggro). Brooding is counter to my egg-producing goals.

I do collect eggs daily. 💯

She (Duckie) is a great layer when she’s not rustling up everyone else’s eggs. But they all start to shut down laying when she goes.

What can I do to prevent this from happening so frequently?

Thanks for your input!
