Clucky hen won’t sit on fertile eggs after being moved

[3littlechooks]

we have had to move out clucky hen because she was clucky in an unsafe area, we have moved her and now she will not sit on her fertile eggs. Is there anything we can do to encourage her to sit on her eggs again, the eggs are fertile.

Why did you move her? You probably have to move her back to the other place that she likes

Have already tried moving her back, she would have been killed by wild dogs/foxes or snakes in the area she was nesting

Hmmm...Can you build a box around her that is covered?

Usually the broody hens only like to leave once or twice a day, so maybe you could take her out of the box once a day

She might not go back to sit on her eggs. Do you have an incubator? It would be the better option.
