Ok so my hen went back to being broody but then this morning she got off to eat and drink and she finally went to the bathroom. So I felt the fake egg and it was warm. So I put the reall one and she won't brood them!! Any suggestions?

Put the wooden ones back out there and switch them at night.

Quote: Newbie here with broody hens. If you do this at night should the real egg be at room temp or warmer??? Or does it even matter?
