Our speckled sussex has gone broody. She was sitting on about 7 eggs yesterday. Today shes sitting on 16. That means the other girls are laying in her nest. We want to move her so this doesn't continue. We know you should move her at night, we want to put her in a large dog crate. Can we leave it in the coop so she has company? Also should we close the door on the crate or leave it open so she can come and go. Thank you This is the first time one of our girls has gone broody and we are not sure what to do.
