When should I move my hen and the nest?

[Nicole01]

i tried moving a broody around day 17 and she just stopped setting when i moved her to a safer environment. I would just deal with where she is now. Its not worth risking her becoming non-broody

That's good to know. I might make a water spill proof water station and block 1/4-1/2 way of the nest she's in since she's raising 1-2 chicks. If it goes well, I'll keep her there once all hatched, if not I'll move her. Maybe she'll hatch them all since where she's at, she is safe. If she were to raise all 7, I'd move her for sure once they hatched.
