    Thank you! And yes of course she set up camp in the most prized box. I think I will try what you have suggested. I will clean coop real good before hatch date and see what happens.

    Foster hen will not leave nest.

    Well never mind. Problem solved! I just picked her up and put her on the ground. She immediately started calling her chicks and crushing starter for them.

    Foster hen will not leave nest.

    We have two broody birds. Not sure the breed. Large beautiful golden/red girls. They both sat on golf balls up till last night. We swapped them out with chicks purchased at our local TSC. #1 Hen is doing great! The other will not leave her nest (#2). All chicks including hers are out on the...
