I moved a broody hen to a differnt coop by herself as the baby chix will hatch in 11 days.
However, she is not wanting to sit back on her eggs. I had to move her during the day ( 11am).

Will she eventually go back to sitting?

Thanks for the help.

Some hens dont like to be bothered! I just moved my silkie this morning to a different pen. she took it well. try to put her back in the box slowly and hope she will use it ! Mine is due 2 to 3 days !
 
It depends on the hen. I moved my hen and she started sitting again but most hens won't. I would suggest finding an incubator or a different hen!
