Moving a broody

[Newchickadee30]

Can you move a broody hen with her chicks once she hatches her eggs in the coop with the rest of the coop mates?
Thinking of trying to leave my hen and let her incubated, then move her to her own space once the chicks hatch.

Yes.

Definitely wait till they hatch! If the nest she chose is up high just fashion something around it so the babies can’t fall out. Mine just hatched out Tuesday and I moved her as soon as I heard a cheep, she did fine. Good luck!
