How are everyones broodies? (and sorry for taking this thread so far off topic 😂, but thank you so much for the help @MGG)

I just checked and she had one extra egg under her but that wasn't a problem. I haven't seen her get up yesterday or today. I haven't been checking like every 10 min so its totally possible she hasn't, but should I be worried about her not getting up? I felt her crop and it felt like there could have been a little bit of food in there but barely any, also no poop in the box so she must leave at some point right?

Haha! No problem.
I would get her off (while no other birds are out) and let her scratch around and eat and poop. Keep her off for 15-20 minutes or so and then put her back on.

oh okay, that won't break her or anything? She will still go back to eggs after?

What is she in? I have mine in a prefab coop, I just let her out in my floorless shed, let her do her thing, and then put her back in the coop. She should go back just fine. You'll have to put her back in though.

She is just in my big coop with all my other chickens. She wouldn't sit on the eggs anywhere but the one nesting box. I can just put her in front of the food in the attached run. Thank you!

Ok! Just so she gets up and walks around a bit.

I got her out, I shut the door to the coop so she can do her stuff without being bothered. She seems good. Eating and drinking and such.
