It doesn't have to be in the coop, as long as she is protected from the elements. I ended up just letting my girl sit for 21 days (on nothing...lol). I would remove her 2x a day to force her to eat, drink, and poop. After about day 23, over a weekend, I kept her out of the coop except at night time, when I would go inside (in the dark) and place her on the roost. By the end of the weekend she was back to "normal." Of course I'm still waiting on her to start laying again. So I guess that's a selling point for breaking her sooner rather than letting her sit...you'd get eggs sooner.
