One of my hens has started to sit on the eggs. This is now the 2nd day that she won't leave the nest except to do her business. I dont want to move her as she seems comfortable but im worried because 1 she is a leghorn (not supposed to be broody) and 2 its October (winter is approaching) I have already winterized my small coop (2 floors, 8x6ft) as well as stocked up on extra winter feed (sunflowers, alfalfa, corn still on husks, millet cones, and dried bsfl, with 10% total weight in white oak acorns). Anything else I can do? Should I prepare anything for chicks or get an incubator incase she abandons nest?
