I'll be out of town a few days in the future. I may not have someone to watch the chickens. Is it possible to move the hen and the nest to another location, or will she leave the nest? She is in a pen with a rooster and two other hens.
 
Unless you're going to be gone during hatching time, I wouldn't worry about it. Moving her would probably just upset her.
 
I've moved my broody bantams with no problems. If you can move her at night, she would probably stay put better; chickens are "night blind" and tend to stay in one place in the dark. Good luck!
