One year old Hen is egg bound.............I think.

My run is completely predator proof. I've about 50 Racoons that forage around here at night and they gave up trying to get inside the run or coop a lot of years ago. So did the Bobcats.

About all I can do is partition off the end of the run and let her have that. I made a perch for her. We are going to separate her tomorrow. We're under a Tornado warning tonight and I don't want her out for her first night bucking those kind of winds. As long as we don't get hit, she'll be safe in the coop.

Well, I put her in "jail" for 5 days. At this point I'd say it was a complete success and she is no longer broody. Will have to wait and see what happens. Interesting point................her jail sentence upset the flock. Egg production went down to one and two eggs per day and someone in the group even broke and ate an egg. That only happened twice and it's been 3 days since it happened so I'm hoping our little "flock" is back to normal now. Thanks for all the suggestions.
