HELP Maggets in my broody Hens Nest

[chantelhatt]

I went and checked on my broody Chinese Silkie and when i wiggled her around and what not I noticed a dead chick. When I took it out it was full of MAGGETS!!! What should I do? Should I move her and put her in a different nesting box and clean that one out? Also she is still in the big coop with the other chickens....should I move her somewhere different?

Remove hen and balance of brood. Take out bedding and clean up with small broom, then put new bedding in. Hen and chicks will then go right in. I change up bedding frequently even when hen setting on eggs. Most hens get cranky but they settle down quickly when process complete.
