Moving out hen with her eggs

[stellashares08]

We had to move houses and had to bring out hen with her eggs! We have to keep her in a big open box for now while we get a coop ready for her. We just moved about an hour ago but she won’t sit back down on her eggs, instead she’s sitting across from them just watching them. Should I wait it out or try to get a heat lamp to put on the eggs. I don’t know exactly how long she’s been sitting on the eggs but when me candles then they’re taking up the full egg and look like they’re about to hatch. What can I do to get her to sit back on her eggs?

Most hens don't like to be moved and will refuse to sit anywhere else. I personally would try confining her in a smaller space like a crate and than I would cover it so it's dark, and than leave her for a day. Let her out the following morning to eat and drink and repeat until the eggs hatch, or she's comfortable with her new situation.

Hopefully someone can give you a better idea. Otherwise you will need to find an incubator, or try the heat lamp.
