You could have, not that he would stay if he could get out. I don't confine broody hens so they go and see their roosters most days.Awesome, and another question i can have rooster in there with her correct? Their a pair but i moved her to new pen because the pen they were last in wasn’t chick friendly. So you think i can put him into that new one tomorrow?
Roosters are uncomfortable being confined with a broody hen. You can sometimes see this in free range flocks where a hen has decided to hatch her eggs in the same coop as the rooster. There have been a few occasions when I've had to put the rooster in because he was initially reluctant.
However, given you've kept the broody hen seperate I would now wait for the chicks to hatch. What should happen if the hen can is at some point she will want to rejoin the rest of the group. At that time or before, the rooster imprints the chicks. Once he's done that and accepted the chicks the hen with her chicks should be fine.
