so my d,uccle went broody and this is her third time being broody and the last too times the other hens kept making her get off the nest to lay eggs and they broke her from her broodyness so this time she was doing really good BUT today they made her get off the nest again and i wanted to just put a tote on the floor of the coop so that could be her area but i think they may want to lay eggs in there i just dont know what to do should i do the tote idea or should i make her a brooder does any one have any ideas sorry ive made so many posts about my hen this is the first time ive ever used a broody. thanks
 
You may consider a huge dog wire cage, putting her food & water in it and the cage in the coop. That way she's still part of the flock & no one will disturb her. There's also those mobile kennel for puppies/babies, you could surround her with on so the other don't bother her.
