I think my hen went broody......I have some questions help?

[chickenlittle1980]

should I move the nesting box she is in? it's up high.... I would move her down lower that way to be closer to the ground so if she has babies they wont fall to their death! I would do it at night with her in it so not to confuse her Does that sound like and ok idea?

I moved both of mine during the day and they didn't seem to mind. However, I prepared a caged in place so they wouldn't be bothered.

I just took the back out of that cage and pushed it up against the nest box and then put netting around the top so the others wouldn't roost on top. Now that she is due though I build the other girls a new coop and this will be where the chicks live until they are ready to join the others.
