Is she broody????

Welcome and no problem

We moved her into a smaller cage today and when we picked her up to move her there was no egg, nor any sign of an eaten egg.
We gave her a infertile one and she took interest in it. is she still broody????

I have had experience of a broody hen eating eggs. Believe me they eat the egg whole and leave absolutely no trace. But may be your case is different. She seems to be broody. Lets see if she eats this infertile egg or not

Nope, she hasn't eaten the infertile egg. Would it have been the other hens she is with or not????
We have put her back with the others because she had stopped sitting, and know she has gone back to sitting again. Getting some fertile eggs tomorrow, hopfully.....

It can be the other hens. If it is possible to isolate her in current nest box then do it. Otherwise move her to her new nest at night with infertile eggs and see if she sits which hopefully she will.
