    Broody hen help

    This is my first time hatching eggs with a broody hen. The whole time she has been very stubborn and won’t leave the nest unless I make her.. we are very close to hatch day. I hear chirping from the eggs. Should I still move her off the nest to potty? Or leave her be for now?
