I've had as many as three broody hens in my 3' x 6' 1/2" hardware cloth bottomed brooder at one time. I did not have any problems. I'd be reluctant to try that with a small dog cage but it may work for two.One of her comrades is beginning to consider being broody so I may be dealing with both of them.
We all don't have space for more birds.You are all so tough, this time of year, I would cave and give her chicks!
