Relocating broody hen

[presley]

Pop, I put 9 BCM eggs under her yesterday. (after dark) but I can for sure go take the blue one out if you think that is too many, I didn't think about that.

If she`s a big fluffy hen, you should be fine and if she started last night, the blue one should be fine also. Just be sure no more eggs are added by other hens. Good luck.......Pop

Pop, she is fairly big and fluffly. And the problem of other hens going in with her is solved, as we built a separate "broody pen and nursery" today. I have already put her in her new home without any problems whatsoever, she is sitting on her eggs and seems content. We built it next to the chicken yard, with a house for her and a 10 ft x 3 ft run. I figured this way she can stay there until the eggs hatch, the babys can stay there after born and they will still be right next to the other chickens, (fence between them). Maybe everyone will be used to each other this way.
