Two days ago, one of my BOs went broody. We put her in a large dog crate in our garage as an attempt to break her, but changed our minds about breaking her. I put hay in the crate and gave her eggs to sit on. I also mixed in dried mealworms in her food to raise the protein. What can I do to make sure she stays healthy while sitting on her eggs? I don't want her to become thin and unhealthy. Is there anything else I can for her in general? Thanks in advance for any help. :jumpy
