Broody hen?

[colson]

If i want my broody hen to hatch her eggs should I take her and her nest to a more private spot
or just leave her were shes at?

It depends, will they be safe once they hatch? Can the other big birds get to them? I took my broody to a new nest in a wooden rabbit hutch, she is so happy and when her babies hatch she and they will be safe .

Will the big birds harm newly hatched chicks?
