Brooding.. how to remove eggs?

Agreed. There's no point in her sitting, and it's only going to lead to health problems.

I usually wear my garden gloves when I steal eggs from under my broody. I'm less fearful of the pecking that is sure to come. After a few days she is used to the routine and doesn't get as upset when I steal the eggs. I'll pick her up and lock her outside for the day at this time too.
