Hi Milly! a big welcome to the henhouse! I am sure you wil get loads of help, Bodger is probably the best person when it comes to broody hens mind. I would be inclined to have her away from the main henhouse and would move her at night to help her settle. Perhaps keep her in there during the day also.  Thats what i have done with mine. Do you have another henhouse or a broody coop for her?
