Very informative article! I'm looking to move my broody tonight and this article is very helpful. On the boxing-in part, I've done that a few times in the past, but have felt guilty about doing it. I'm glad to see it is a thing, and it does help others as well.
Some good tips like being prepared before the move, distressing the hen. Higher rating can be achieved by describing boxing method better, how to mive eggs and reposition in nest and provide pictures.

Useful information.

Could you add photos of the setup you move the broody too and how you manage closing her in the nest?
