Will this hen hatch out some baby chicks?

I came down to the chicken coop and saw this broody hen, I knew she was broody because she screamed at me when moving my hand by her. I picked her up and brought her to the broody coop with ten eggs in the hopes that she would sit on them and hatch them out. Unfortunately though after an hour she still wasn't sitting on them and actually wasn't broody after all.

She is definitely broody. She didn't sit on the eggs because she already had a nest elsewhere, which would be the one you removed her from. If you put her back in her first nest, she should sit back down in it.

Maybe you should try taking the nest box with her in it and put it in that little coop so you never gets on her nest and its the same nest she was sitting on so maybe she'll stay!

She just wanted to stay in a comfy spot

With chickens i have my own when broody if you move them of the nest they are sitting on and take them to a different location they will not sit on the eggs so next broody hen i suggest you move the hen with its nesting box into that area and give her the eggs in that nesting box she is sitting on.

Do it at night
They are not going to sit somewhere else when it's day

If I have a chicken and she hatched four eggs and two didn’t hatch how long do I wait to pull them eggs out?

Listen to and watch your birds’ behaviour, … hens lay in dark hidden places from choice, not out in the open in full view. Give a hen 3-4 days solid sitting on a dozen golf balls then move her in the dark to a small box that is also dark, you can’t go wrong. I was a small child and got dozens of hens/bantams to sit this way, without any YouTube either

These chickens need to not be so stubborn 🤣

She's not broody she's just tryna lay an egg my chicken did that too and I got her eggs and she just laid an egg and got up

She is at the stage of being broody u can give her 9 or 11 eggs to hatch

[DanisJoy]

That’s stuff chickens can do bc they may not want u to steal there eggs at that moment so there protecting them

[_hype]

Why not put the new eggs under where she is😭 u moving her makes it worse, that’s like moving u from bed and sending u to the sofa
