Please advise
My lady has been on eggs expecting to hatch next Thursday.
I have her in a large dog crate in coop with everything she needs.
Yesterday was the first day she took a large stinky poo.
This morning all was fine.
Went in now to see if she ate and drank.
She was just standing up.
She actually attacked me getting out of crate.
Her fuzzy butt isn’t so fuzzy
It’s actually dripping liquid and her bottom feathers under vent are soaked. Like just having a bath soaked.
And smells awful
She dripped like a stream as she made her way across coop and out into run.
She ate and drank a lot.
Meanwhile I removed eggs , which really weren’t soaking wet. Cleaned and replaced all bedding.
I placed eggs back in a circle.
Some are hot and some are cool.
Has she given up?
What should I do about butt.
It’s 7pm I think to late for bath even if I blow dry her.
Can she sit on eggs like this until tomorrow? Praying she goes back to eggs
Most important how long can eggs be let without her on them?
If she doesn’t brood on them I’ll need to borrow incubator!
I’m so worried
I went from 110% eggcited to a ~10 immediate stop.
Please advise
