Broody hen!

Hi all, I am once again calling for your sage advice. We have a flock of 5. One has become broody and we can’t seem to snap her out of it. We have spent the last two weeks free ranging them a lot, I’ve shut up the coop in the day where the nesting box is - a couple of our other hens are really consistent layers so she goes and sits on their eggs. I think I’m going to get some sort of barrier to separate her from the others with food and water.

Any advice welcome! We have lost two hens in the last 3 months and when I picked her up today she felt quite thin. I really don’t want to lose another - she’s so sweet :(
