So i had a hen go sit on eggs in the nesting box for multiple days, concluded she was broody. Put her in a separate enclosure with some golf balls, and she won’t sit and is pacing and trying to get out. How can I help her adjust to the new space?

Can she see the rest of the flock?
I assume she has food and water in her enclosure?
Give her a day or two.
If she doesn't settle back onto the nest, her broodiness has been broken.
