Help! Should I move my broody hen into the coop with my other broody hen?

Hi everyone
I have two bantam game hens gone broody around the same time. One in the nesting box and one hid outside the fence. I just found her today and she is sitting on five eggs and there was a dead chick not a foot away from where she is on the eggs. I need to know if I should move her and her eggs in with the other hen so they can be together or should I put her and her eggs in a dog crate by herself. I am so afraid to leave her where she is, it's not safe! Thank you,
Melissa

I'd keep them separate because broodies can fight over chicks which risks the chicks being injured. Move her and as much of her nest as you can at night when it's dark and hopefully she wont notice. I'd cover the crate almost completely so she feels hidden and safe. Good luck to you and your little hen.

I If one hen has chicks while the other doesn't then the hen without chicks will likely get off the nest and try to steal some of the other chicks
