it depends if you want her to have chicks or not ,I found that if you move broody hens nothing happens but they just go back to their eggs but once I moved a hen and 18 eggs that she had hidden and colllected and this made her no longer broody

∙ 12y agoYes! I have many dozens of chickens cause they hatch out their own babies. We usually move the mother hen and the eggs shes sitting on away from all the other chickens so that way when the little chicks hatch the other chickens wont peck them to death. But overall yes you can move the chicken eggs as long as the mother hen knows where there at.
Hope I helped!!
