Broody Hen

[KLEChickens]

Hi All,

I have a broody hen who is laying on eggs. I have marked them so I know which ones she is sitting on. My question is, can I leave her in the coop/run with the others to raise the chicks? She's high in the hierarchy and the other hens barely let me near her when I go in to check their feed. Or should I separate her(in that case I won't let her sit on eggs as my husband said I'm not allowed anymore animals, but if she does all the work I can get away with it )

A high ranking hen should be able to raise a brood within the flock especially if they have a lot of space.

Perfect thats what I was hoping for! Thank you
