Hi,
My Broody won’t get off her eggs. I contained her with access to grains, water & dust bath day 2/21. She showed signs of broody 3 days before. Zero broody poos or signs she had left nest Day 3. Started leaving water food in bowls next to her (ate). Day 6 still no signs she had left the nest. Picked her up off nest near dusk & out of broody hotel day 6 … massive poo/dust bath (see photos). She then insisted on going back to coop nest (?) … relocated her & as soon as she saw the eggs settled on them. Now Day 12 (Broody hôtel water food dust bath untouched) but eating/drinking from bowls next to her in nest. Will pick her up off the nest tomorrow near dusk again. 2/8 eggs viable on candling tonight.
