Successfully moved my Hen and eggs in a warmer and safer place.

I have a camera on her, how long can she go with out getting up?

How long do I keep my Hen and babies in their own area before bringing them with the others?

First they must hatch. If you moved her, make sure she really stays on those eggs. Hen get up once a day or so to eat and drink and may be off the eggs 15 min. or so. If she leaves them for a long period of time, eggs can be without heat up to 12 hrs.

I moved her during the night and she has settled well and is cozy on the eggs! Okay I will check on my camera I just want to make sure she is getting up and eating drinking etc! I only moved her bc she was not in a safe location. Today makes day 8 she’s been sitting.
