Remember that a chick has about 3 days worth of nutrients after hatching.
You can remove the broody poops from the cage, I removed them everyday they were there.

Did I read your post correctly? You haven't cleaned the HUGE poops since she went broody? OMG What a mess! Get them out of there daily! She's there to hatch eggs, not fill a cage with a mess. If you keep her cooped up (pun intended) it's up to you to keep her clean and healthy, and daily upkeep of the cage is your business, please. She'll thank you for it.
 
Just pushing this one back into the "must reads" for anyone thinking of letting that broody sit a clutch coming into the winter! 🥶
Read it over twice myself in the last two weeks! So glad you documented the whole experience
@aart ! :bow
