I was away and it's a long story but...I now have a hen who has been sitting on fertile eggs for about two weeks. In the coop...and it's in the single digits temperature wise. Also the nest is cramped, in the most inaccessible place of the coop that I can only get to by raising the egg box lid outside.
I'm thinking of bringing her into the house as I don't have room in the coop to isolate the nest.
Is it too late to transfer her and the eggs to a dog kennel in my house?
Even though I have lots of space in the covered run area, all of my 20 hens have been hanging out in the warmer coop. So it's crowded there. Any ideas to help?
Also this is my first experience with a broody chicken.
