I let mine out once a day, she poops eats and drinks and is done, usually I let her go in on her own.

Your buff is so pretty. The 6 eggs under my BLRW are orpingtons (mixed colors supposedly).

Thanks! She's a real sweetheart too. I wouldn't mind hatching more orpingtons, but we got some blue eggs from a guy nearby.

Took her out to poop/eat/drink for the day. Now that she has real eggs under her she is very serious about this hatching business! Took a little poop (I didn't take her out to eat earlier), ate 3 bites, and took one drink and then headed straight to the nest. She is so adorable!

I'm also in the process of breaking our GLW broodiness. We need the eggs and I think if she raised chicks she wouldn't make them very friendly since she's the most aloof of my girls.
