I have a chicken that refuses to leave the nest so the other chickens can't go in and lay their eggs she's been in there now for 10 days I went in and took her out two days ago and she stayed outside for a little while but then went right back in took her out again this morning and she went right back in she's interrupting the other chickens from laying their eggs what do I do?
 
So I put her in the dog cage this morning and she's just sitting there or standing up she's eating and drinking how long do I need to leave her in there The other chickens are going in and leaving their eggs where she was refusing to get out. Thanks for assisting

Give it 2 days, then let her out about an hour before roost time, if she goes to roost she's good to go, if she goes back to the nest, back in the clank for another couple days
 
Well while I was cleaning her little dog cage she zippity dude right out she went up to the nest and laid an egg and then she joined the rest of the brood. So far so good but I will keep an eye on her and put her back in the cage she sees that it's in the coop. That was a great idea you had thank you very much!
