She was on the nest when I went for eggs late yesterday afternoon. I figured ok, I'll wait till morning. She's still there but she unhappily let me get the eggs from under her. Tonight everyone is roosting....she's still in the box. I pulled my "Chicken Hospital" out of the garage. Tomorrow we'll be cleaning out the coop and putting it in for her on the one side. I will move her in with a couple eggs and see what happens. I understand first time moms sometimes dont do so well and she wont even be a year old till May. But I will give her a shot. I wanted a couple more but didnt want to raise chicks again so I guess I cant complain. But she is a TSC chick and I didnt have much hope of a RIR being broody.
