Advice on Broody hen

[clairemcc1]

One of my hens has started to sit on her eggs. She is with 3 other hens and one rooster in their shared house. The others seem to be laying in her nest and some of them has moved the eggs and smashed a few that I set for her orginally. Should I keep her in the house with the rest or what is the best way to manage her? Does she need space away form the others? Any advice on how best to look after a broody hen would be great, thanks!

Build her a neat box with a dividing wall from the others.

I've had good luck into moving the hen with her eggs into a dog crate that keeps the others out. A broody doesn't want to get up and move much anyway. Just make sure you come open the door to give her a bathroom break atleast once a day.
