Hi I have a broody bantam.
She went broody last summer and only 1 hatched and it was a roo so rehomed to my friend that has loads of space and girls.
Shes now gone boody again.
Last time I separated her to a small triangle rabbit hutch with little run.and left it in my closed in run so others could see her.but no door between bedroom to hutch and run.although closed in safe it just as arch to go from one to other.
it was summer when she hatched her chick last year so I didnt worry.
i have put 6 eggs under her again and put her in the broader again.but worried as it's very cold weather now and shes on her own.
Do you leave yours in same coop with others in flock or separate her and her eggs to safe place.
My main coop has 4 nesting boxes and is 1 1/2 foot off ground with ladder down to the run.

That should work OK...especially if it's in your run.
If your run is protected form weather and predators.

Pics of your hutch and run would help here.
