Broody Hen

[nat2009]

It is day 7. What should I do? I have tried to move the hen but when i moved her away from the other chickens she stopped setting so I moved her back in with them. Will she be okay in there?

i seperated my sitting hen from the others i didnt move her, i just seperated an old fireguard and boxed her in with that.
high enough so the other hens couldnt get in that worked really good, as i had a part time broody that would steal the eggs and then give up sitting 5 mins later.
when the chicks were dry and strong i moved the chicks and hen to a smaller house/run.

If she is separated from the others she needs her own food and water. Give here what ever she has been used to.
