did i break my broody hen

[chickenmama109]

so i had a hen go broody three times and the other two times the hens always broke her out of it by pushing her off the nest and laying eggs so the third time she was doing really good today was day three and i was going to put eggs under her today but she already had eggs from diff days and i did not know when they would hatch so i wanted to take those out and give her the ones from today but when i went to take the eggs away she ran off the nest and never went back and the whole time she went around doing low bocks and still seemed to be broody but never went back to the nest is she still broody

She probably is but what id do is move her to an area without the other chickens, like I just moved my broody hen and eggs today to a cut off part of the coop I blocked it with a board. She's been better without the other chickens, mine pushed too. If u can, just put the eggs u want in a separate area and put her too. She will probably be fine.

She might be becoming broody. I had a hen act broody for about 2 weeks. Finally, she sat and became officially broody. Watch her closely to know for sure.
