I have a RI red hen that has gone broody so i put a dozen guinea eggs under her about 2 weeks ago. Will it be ok to move her and the laying box shes in into a cage away from the other hens and guineas. Will she keep setting on them.

If you move her there is the possibility that she will abandon the eggs; some hens accept being moved and others do not. If at all possible leave her where she is until the chicks hatch; you are half way through the incubation period.
