I have one hen who just started sitting on her eggs this week she is a 14 month old hen. she will sit on hers for a day and then move to another nesting box and sit on the other hens eggs we have one rooster to 6 hens she want stay on any of them for more then a day without moving. Help please
 
Disclaimer: I don't have broody hens. This is just what I've gathered from the forums.

That being said, I believe a common practice is to remove the hen and her eggs and place them in a separate area. Separating her and limiting her to just her own clutch will prevent her "nest hopping".
