I wish, but I opted not to. I had put her in a separate broody coop, but she would have none of it, so she's back in the main coop. There, she's been getting back on different nests. So, I set my swap eggs under her instead. They were really scrambled when they arrived, so I would be impressed if even 30% of them hatched. So, I won't be stuck with growing out too many unwanted chicks hopefully. I put a Speckled Sussex egg from my flock under her with them as well so that something will possibly hatch. I just couldn't bear it if I came home to find out she'd been off the EO eggs since that morning. I may put a little lid on her nest box and let her out to go to the bathroom when I get home from work as some others have suggested. We'll see if she settles onto these eggs and starts remembering where she is sitting.

That 3 weeks seems to drag by when you are waiting for new babies.
