Yes, It does not always work but if you move both the nest, the eggs and the hen, she will often stay with the nest. It is best to do this in the late evening when the hens have all settled in for the night.

Can you move a broody hen?
Do you mean move eggs being incubated? If you move eggs from under a chicken, she may move with them, or she may just leave them. If she has been sitting for a few days it is best to throw away the eggs. I have a very young chicken sitting right now, on all the eggs she can find! It remains to be seen if she will stay the course, or if the eggs are fertilized as the cockerel is quite old. I have moved eggs from where they were being sat on, but the chicken did not sit on them once moved. She was in a flower bed, and not really in a safe place. After about a week, she was disturbed by a hedgehog, at 2:00 in the morning. If a hen is determined enough, and you can somehow move her and the eggs simultaneously, it may work. They can be moved to an incubator and kept at the same temperature, but once left uncovered for a few hours, they are unlikely to hatch. ******************************************************************** Of course you can move chicken eggs. I have taken them from the coop and have put them in the incubator with an undetermined age of the eggs. After they are in the incubator I handle them with protective gloves to avoid contamination.

The mother will move them herself , when she is finished giving birth she will take them in to a safer place. If mama kitty doesn't move them you can create a safe place for the babies, such as a large box with an old blanket, move babies first and show mama where they are, try having her follow you. If she doesn't want to go with you, take the box to the kitties, place the babies in it and then move the box to a safe place.
