3 AM with gloves an long sleeves. Seriously she should let you do it without issue but some can hurt you so I ware something thick an do it at night.

Also tells ya for sure that they are broody when they are on the nest at night. Ive had a lot that I thought were but then went out after dark an hey were on the roosts.

Dont put to many. If she has trouble covering them all she may keep moving them an none will hatch.

thanks. I want to give her 2 more as i think there is only 2 as i pick them up all the time. She was in the same box last night but i scared her. I didnt wait for her to go back in the nest . I just took the 2 eggs that was there. Then this morning she was in there again. SHe didnt move when the dogs passed her and myself. I will know more tonight. but i am pretty sure she is.
