So for the past week my bantom hen has been sitting on 2 eggs. Yesterday she started making frantic noises from the coop. Right now she has been locked up in a coop all to herself so she can hatch these eggs in peace.

Yesterday she started making frantic noises from there as if shes ding to get out. We let her out and she takes very large 6-8 poops.

My question is, is it normal for a hen not to want to go to the bathroom when she is sitting on her eggs? She has plenty of space on the bottom coop area to use the bathroom.

It also seem like when she first ran out she was looking all crazy like "i need to take a break im going nuts!" she sunbathed really quick and then went back into the cooop.
