Yesterday was day 14 actually , I have a thread talking about “ hatching with Mama” but yesterday we moved her and her eggs as directed by others , at night in darkness , to a safer area because two eggs had been broken probably from other chickens climbing in her box .
so we moved her into an enclosure on her eggs .
I seen as I was leaving she got up and started scratching around. I left and this morning I see her perching on a ledge .shes not setting
What do I Do ??????
 
Moving the eggs to an incubator would be best if the broody hen isn't sitting anymore... it's always hard hen these things happen. I just moved eggs from a broody to the incubator as I noticed she was getting disturbed too much by the other hens in the coop and she was so far along that I didn't know how she would react to a move. I left her with one viable egg and three fresh eggs as she refused to sit on just one :)
