Moving a broody duck?

[Fuchsia]

Hi, so I have a broody WH right now and I just got a new coop for her and her friends. She has been broody for a little over one week but my question is how do I move her to the new coop? I’ve read it’s best to move them when it’s dark out so if that is the case I think I’ll move her tonight or tomorrow night.

If you don’t think it will work to move her I think I might be able to keep her where she is, I just would prefer she is in the new coop

Thanks!

I've successfully moved many broody chicken hens, but have never managed to do so with a duck hen. If possible I'd let her set where she is.

I've heard ducks are like turkeys, you take them from the spot they picked they will keep going back to the spot they picked.

I guess you know best, I’ll try and keep her where she is

I thought of that. I wonder if she would just keep going back to where her nest was

Where is she?

Right now she is in one of my barns. I think she would be okay there I just don’t like them in there because there are rats in the barn. I had a chicken hatch some in there before and the rats killed some
We are working on getting rid of the rats though.

I forgot to update this, I did end up moving her last week and she is still broody!
