Mine was doing the same thing for a couple of weeks she’s sit through the day for a few hours and then leave and sleep in the coop. I thought she was broken. She is now sitting full time and all eggs are progressing (she actually had 24 eggs in the nest…she now has 8).
Same behavior for my 2 goose girls. They sat for 4-5 hours after laying an egg and slept on the nest at night last month. Now they are both sitting full time. Both are first timers.
One big difference is no feathers the first time. Now the nests are properly feather cushioned.
