Question about broody

[a123andpoof]

I have 2 broodys one is with her brother the other in with the flock. I am thinking I need to move the one with the flock cause she is stealing all the eggs. But we don't really have a seperate area. Would putting her in a dog crate in the coop keeping her with the flock work or would she just go back to a box? Any other ideas?

Putting her in a dog crate will work just fine. You could also block a part of the coop off
with wire, if you have it. Be sure to do all moving at night. It reduces stress, and because
she can't see anything, she won't try to leave the nest, and end up trampling the eggs. By
keeping her visible to the other birds, re-introducing her to the flock should be a lot easier.
Good luck.
