I posted about this hen before because she was broody for six weeks before I gave her eggs to hatch. She was a great mama hen and stayed on the nest until the hatched.The eggs had hatched by Sunday morning. Now it's Friday and she's barely left the nest. Is this normal? I thought she'd stay there for maybe 2-3 days and then get more active. I have enclosed a 2' wide by 5' long area with food and water and her nest box inside of the coop. There is two piles of massive broody mama poop and some tiny baby poops so I know they've ventured out for food, but it's apparent she's still fluffed up and clucking. Only two babies hatched and I left an unhatched egg under her until Monday before disposing of it.
