Help? Should I move my broody hen with eggs?

[lps1215]

I have an OEGB that was sitting on 6 eggs since 06/23/20. I candled them today and they are all progressing well! I went out to my coop to give my other chickens some treats and I noticed my smooth feathered serama hen that has been broody is sitting on the 6 eggs and the OEGB was sitting in an empty nest box beside the smooth feathered serama. The smooth feathered serama was originally sitting on 3 different eggs that has now been taken over by my frizzle serama pullet who has became broody (she's a little over 5 months old). I feel like a lot is going on in there and they all keep switching off. Should I let them work together or should I take the 6 eggs that are developed and move the OEGB into a seperate housing situation. I'm afraid if I move her it will stress her out. I've never let a broody hen hatch her own eggs before so i'm not exactly sure what I should do. Everytime I go out there is always a hen on the eggs. I plan to let the mothers raise the chicks in the same coop but move a nest box to the ground so the chicks can have access to food and water. My nest box situation is attached. It is hanging on the wall in my coop.

As long as somebody is sitting on them and they are developing than all should be okay. My concern would be for when the chicks hatch that they not climb out at such a high area.

I Tried moving an OEGB and it was unsuccessful. I'd leaver her be and let nature take its course.

Yes I plan on keeping an eye out and moving the chicks and the mamas to a ground nest box when they start hatching.
