What do you have set up for your broody hens?
What do you have set up for their privacy?
Do you even keep a set up for them?
If not what do you do if they are broody and you want them to hatch chicks?

I let mine hatch them in the regular nesting boxes, I removed extra eggs daily(mark them with something other then pencil it rubs off) and once they hatched moved them in all in to a bird cage(with a nest area, food, and water),That I picked up at an yard sale, for a couple days to a week to bond and then let them out with the flock, with mom to protect them. Here is a picture of the cage when being used for raise a chick (not the broodies raising it, me raising it):
