She is broody... What do i do?

[thechickman04]

My hen is sitting five eggs in the coop right now. Should i take the eggs away. I want them to hatch. What would happen to the chicks if they were born in the coop with all the other chickens?

I place my broody in a large wire dog crate in the coop where the other hens can't get to her...you could section off a space where the other hens can't get to her, take her and the nest there in the evening, place food and water within reach and she will hatch out your chicks for you...thats the best incubator made is broody hen!!...sometimes I take the chicks and sometimes I leave them with the hen.....
