Will this break a broody?

[mopalia]

Wobbles hatched last may, started laying a month ago, but now she's broody. She insisted on laying eggs outside the chicken enclosure, flying over a 6' wire fence every morning and them back in again along with Rosie, her hatch mate. Apparently Rosie is managing to get in there and lay her daily egg, but Wobbles has stopped laying. I take the egg every day. Will it break her if I remove her from the nest every night, close her in the coop and let her come out every morning after the automatic door opens? I did it last night and this morning she's right back on the nest, sitting on Rosie's egg for today. I really don't have the facilities to manage a chicken jail.

No.

No.

Any suggestions?

Well you say you can't do a broody jail. Could you give her an egg to hatch? Mark it and remove all others at the end of every day. When she hatches one, she'll be happy and will spend the next few weeks raising it. Can you tolerate one chick added to your flock?
