Have you ever hatched (with a hen) indoors?

I did the same thing with my broody hen. Everyday at around 1 pm (sometimes she would have to wait until 4pm when I got off of work) I would take her outside to go poo.

She would go and then want to get back in the house to her chicks.

I wish she would be trained like that all the time!!!

I set up a cage in my garage and put one or two broody hens in it to sit their eggs, or any egg I put under them, LOL.

I have a broody in a dog crate sitting on eggs in my enclosed back porch right now.

She hatched eggs twice last year using this same method.

I pull her out of the crate for a potty trip twice a day, always at the same time of day, she is great about holding it in until her potty break.
