It’s day 19 and my broody hen was the first one out of the coop this morning. She was out for about 20 mins and sat back on the eggs. I suspected her to be on lockdown. Is there any reason to think that the eggs are not developing properly?
 
They come out for breaks. Some sit solidly through lockdown, others don't. I take the hen off myself for breaks up until there is an actual external pip.
With the incubator, it's not a living thing, so it can go through lockdown. It's better for the hen to have a break.
I wouldn't worry about that. It's good she went back on.
It sounds like she's doing a good job.
