Hello!

Welcome to BYC. I would lock the rest of the flock out of the coop where she is setting. There is a possibility that they will crush the eggs once the chicks start to pip.

agree with Sourland - the other hens may also kill any chicks that hatch. Broody mama comes first, keep the others away from her.

Yikes! 5 days till hatch. When should I lock out?
