i have a broody and she is new to it a bramah, shes perfect sitting all day up 1 time clucking eat drink dust bath back on the eggs.

my other hens want her nest spot as its the fave, she wotn stop sitting on her and stressing her, but i dont want to remove her from the flock as reintergration is hard, also restricts what is in the run from her,

what can i do with her? her nest coop is high on a raised platform, so they all want it, but it is the nest spot too, should i make another coop outside next to the egg coop ? im worried she wil go in the wrong coop
 
Can you make a screen to block her in there and keep the others out? Then you would have to manually manage her broody breaks.
If you try to move her now, she will panic and only try to get back to her original nest. Have you removed all eggs deposited into her nest by others while she has been setting?
