Broody hen in her own coop???

[newcanaanchicks]

Any strong opinions moving a broody hen to her own coop to hatch eggs? I am worried if I move her she might break her broodiness. The hens all seem to get along normally.

I wouldn't move a broody hen. Once they are moved, even if they have their eggs, they will often abandon them. As long as the hens are getting along, just leave her there. Don't risk moving her. After chicks hatch, you might want to move her into her own coop, but not before.

Yup.. Thanks. I agree.

Make sure you mark the eggs that you set - if other hen's lay in the same nest, you can then remove them on a daily basis. I don't remove momma and chicks from the main coop, but that's a personal preference.
