Do I have to take my hen with chicks outside to poop?

[Silkie_Lover1]

Raven has had her chicks for about two day now and this morning she pooped in one of the nest boxes. She moved her chicks to the other nest box, but I still want to know if I should take her out with the chicks into the run.

Set her up in a look no touch pen or set it up so she doesn't need to worry about other Birds. Provide feed and water close to her and the Chicks

I have her and the chicks in the coop and my other chickens are in the run(They are still protected form the elements.) Is that ok?

You can let them all together...

I will try to, but I just worry because I have one hen that is trying to sit and I don't want her to bother Raven and the chicks in the nest boxes.

She definitely won't leave to bother a Broody Momma and her Chicks..

Ok, I will let them in tomorrow and see how it goes.
