I have not every dealt with a broody hen.
About 3-4 nights ago, I found that my speckled sussex began spending the night in the nesting box. She is fairly aggressive when I check eggs under her. I watcher her lay an egg yesterday, even though she has been spending all her time in the box keeping golf balls warm :)
I have eggs in the incubator (11 on day 8 and 9 on day 3). I am building a brooder box tomorrow, so I can try to move her tomorrow night.
Should I feel comfortable moving her and adding the 11 eggs in a couple of days?
