OK so one Of my Cochin Bantam hens went broody yesterday and I intend to let her hatch them. Here is my dilemma: All of my CB hens use the same nesting box. She is of course in that box. I have hung more boxes in the hopes that they would pick a different spot but I went in there this am and 2 hens were piled on top of her and the eggs trying to lay their own. I do have an area of the coop that I could move her and her eggs to, it is secluded and none of the other hens could bother her, they wouldn't even be able to see her.
So here is my question: If I move her would that be OK? Would she stay with her eggs or give up on them? Sorry this is my first time with a broody hen and she is also young, I got my first eggs from them on Christmas Eve. Thank you all in advance for the suggestions I know someone will have some insight for me
