Ok I have no clue what i'm doing lol I've only had chickens for a couple years and never had one turn broody. Ok so here is the situation. In Feb. I got a silver laced whyandot so she is about 6 to 7 months old well alot of times the kids collect the eggs so no need for me to check their boxes every day i had seen my silver laced out so didn't think anything about it. Until i had to get the eggs I noticed she was sitting on a few and couldn't move. Well seems from what I have read she has gone broody. So a couple nights ago I noticed she was out eating so I snuck out and decided to shine a light in the eggs and sure enough some of those eggs have chicks In them and to my shock they are huge like the egg is almost full. So he is my question do I need to move her a diff coop so she is separated with get eggs. And how do I safely move her eggs without hurting them. Will she be ok with that. In two years I've never had a hen do this. Or can she stay in the nesting box and hatch her eggs. Will the other chickens attack babies and how do I feed them seperate if they do stay in. I tried moving her yesterday so I could see eggs and she was having no part of it. Needing advice asap
