I went in there to collect egg there were two so I grabbed them one was misformed so I cracked it open and let the chickens eat it then my BO ran into the Hen house, I thought she was going to lay and egg so I waited and waited...no egg. So after that I kinda of figured she might be going broody so I took the egg I collected earlier and rolled it infront of her....she plopped it right under her....then I tryed to touch her with my light thing and she screamed and pecked at it...I cant believe it my little pumpkins wants to be a mommy! and the pest part is my fertile button quail eggs come today!!!, im planning to let her sit on them.
 
Cool beans!

great--just be careful, when they are ready to hatch you may want to move them. She is big enough where she could potentially hurt them.
 
I want to move her into a dog cage becuase its to cold and all my hens keep bothering her but..I dont want to break her broodiness how could I do this?
 
I can't help you there, I've never had much luck moving them while they're still sitting on eggs. But maybe since yours just went broody, she'll settle back down. I found mine under some brush a week or so after she'd been sitting.
