Broody hen refusing to move!!

[Chicken Boy1234]

I've got a broody silkie who is refusing to move, I've tried moving her but she just keeps going back to her favourite place, which is on the floor. We have some cockerels who keep trying to rape her, what should we do??

You might try placing her in a small cage, (like a rabbit cage) that is elevated to allow airflow underneath her. This will cool down her underside and keep the roosters from getting at her.

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice, she is now settled down in a new coop away from the cockerels!!
