My broody lady hatched two of her 6 eggs she has been sitting on (others are still viable according to candling) she's been in my garage the whole time in a big crate . Up until the first two hatched I had been taking her outside in the evening to stretch and poop (she won't in the crate ) . Do I still take her out ? She hasn't pooped since day before yesterday . If I do take her out what about the chicks ? Do they go too or do they stay behind ? Or do I just leave her be ?

If she were my broody and the weather is warm where you are, I would give her the option of getting out to stretch her legs a bit, with her chicks, under close supervision the whole time. If she doesn't want to go out, leave her be. Her broody poop will be epic.

They have been toxic ! It's 72F here today too.
