Broody hen off eggs to long?

no,I wouldn't worry unless she's is off for more than an hour or two.

 

Trust her, she knows what's what.

I wish you a bunch of healthy chicks,

No. That's fine. She just needed a little break to stretch her legs and spread her wings...

Think about...you couldn't sit in the same box 24/7 either.

 

Trust in mama hen - she knows best.

 

I have a hen that is broody and she leaves the nest at least once a day to eat and drink. I have noticed that she is getting a bit pink in her comb and wattles but for the most part she is doing great.

 

When my brooder would get off the nest, I would worry too. One time I worried so much {the eggs had gotten cold} that I chased her back into the coop. LOL But almost every egg hatched, so I worried for nothing. Mother Nature's been at it a little longer than I have, I guess I should have just stayed out of it.

Best of luck!

 

I've had eggs seemingly very cold when a broody has gone for a walkabout.....they have hatched fine.

 

they be okay my hen does it to when yur eggs due to hatch
