My polish hen has been missing a few days- she has a habit of escaping her enclosure but usually chills with the cats, when going to get firewood today we found her!
She is under that tarp (where we keep the firewood) sitting on eggs and the eggs look to be around the 5 day mark.
She already hatched a clutch in spring!
Not sure what to do clearly she’s been doing well the last few days but it is cold here plus the cats can easily get in to this area.
I have the option to lock the gate that’s opened if I should keep her here? What can I do to make her warmer?
Biggest concerns are her/chicks not being warm enough and potential threat of cats with chicks (they are fine with the adult chickens but would not trust them with chicks)
