I don't force her off the nest as she seems to be eating and drinking fine. She'll come out to eat every morning when the rest of the flock come out, but she's always in a big hurry to get right back on the nest.
CHICKMOM, I see you're from Strasburg, have you hatched in cold weather...
I have a silky that went broody about 2 mths. ago. At first I didn't give her any eggs thinking she would break her broodiness. Then when she wouldn't quit setting on her invisible eggs I caved and ordered some BLC Marans eggs. I put all 7 under her. She's in a coop with 4 two month old...
