HELP!!! can you move a broody hen.

Hi BEAUcoop, Yes you should move her---Otherwise you risk other hens going broody too and them all siiting in a heap, stealing each others eggs. You will also have eggs of totally different ages & a quarellsome group of hormonal hens. The eggs are likely to get broken or shoved out into the cold. A broody hen needs to be away from the rest of the flock, somewhere quiet and peaceful and definitely away from the roo (they often get rather jealous because they feel left out and miss their little wifey )!!!
