I’m hatching eggs in an incubator (hatching day today!), and one of my silkie hens went broody three days ago. I tried to move her inside so I can put the chicks under her tonight, but she became clearly distressed and just stood still in the cage for about two hours. I moved her outside again, and she immediately started acting broody again.
It’s freezing outside, so I can’t move the chicks out with her in a separate room in the barn.
Any ideas for how to make this work?
