Broody Hen harassed by other Hens!

[chris_m90731]

HI ALL:

Quick one here: I've got a hen who's been setting on a clutch of eggs and they're near fruition.
Seems as if the other hens (3 Barred Rocks) are either VERY curious or attempting to disrupt the process -- they've been trying to wedge themselves near her and even attempted to sit on the eggs WITH her.
Is this a problem?
Should I separate them?
Or is this just SOP?

THANKS

I had this problem too...my Broody actually moved to another nesting box, which was not the clutch I had collected for her...So I moved her into a seperate pen and she's doing very well now!...Although I'm only on day two, it's my first experience letting a broody have eggs...I'm nervous
