Hello,
One of my buff orphingtons decided to go broody. She has been in a nesting box for over 5 weeks. The other hens would squish in there with her and lay eggs practically on top of her rather than go to the other box! So, I had been taking the eggs away, throwing them away mostly. I decided to bring her in
because I don't think she is going to stop till she succeeds. I think these eggs are only a day old, as I was taking them away. My question is this. It's chilly here, about 40 degrees, but I'm unsure how she will poop? I have her in my mud room, should I put her outside in her carrier during the day? The reason I didn't leave her in the nesting box is because its tilted, a couple of my chickens like to eat the eggs. So we have tilted nesting boxes with catches. She would snug up against the catch trying to keep eggs warm. I moved her into a flat box and she would just go back. So, to sum it up, how will she poop?
Thank you?
