First time broody hasn’t left the nest

[Glory to His name]

I have a first time broody Brahma.
After not leaving the nest all day/night Tuesday, I placed eggs under her Wednesday. I haven’t seen a single “broody poop” that I’ve read so much about, does this mean she hasn’t left the nest once? Is that okay? Or should I encourage her to eat and drink?

The broody poop is usually after a couple of days of being broody. They won't always get out of the nest every single day but most do.

I would just monitor it to be sure you see her getting out of the nest to eat/drink once in a while. They usually do this all within a few minutes, then back on the nest again.

I have a lot of broody hens quite often and now I just break them of it because if they continually are broody, this cutting down on eating/drinking will start taking a toll on their health and appearance.
