sitting hen

[Bigdaddythornton]

I have a young hen who decided to begin nesting in the woods instead of the coop. I am surprised she has lasted this long. I have two bobcats, coyotes, feral cats, snakes and coons, possum and other predators roaming around at night. Should I attempt to move her or should I leave her and take a chance. I don't want her to abandon since she has been there for about two weeks.

I would definitely move her if it were me. There are posts on here sadly telling the story of their broody hen dying (and chicks) from predators.

IMO a live broody hen is worth more than eggs.
