If you don't have her confined in there its possible she gets off and right back on after she relieves herself and gets a quick bite/drink. Mine are only off the nest for 10 min max, just once a day.

Levis she is confined in a large dog kennel. I know she hasn't gotten off because there is no poop on the puppy pads

Might have to put on a sweater and some gloves ....or chain mail .....and take her off for a little bit. With how big a broody's poo is, I cant believe she can hold one in that long

Levis lol no kidding, I just hope I don't upset the neighbors o.o she gets ****** when she is moved

I have a broody hen who has yet to come off the nest to eat drink or poop in a couple days. Do I need to worry, or will she eventually come off? She is a mean broody so im afraid to mess with her

I'd be tempted to put a bowl of water a foot away from her.
I say keep an eye on her, she is unlikely to move when you are watching....

I have one bator running and some button quail eggs coming in the next couple of days....
Little Giant with the horrible electronic thermostat.
Hope I can hatch them....

You are lucky to have a broody hen like that and you have nothing to worry about but you do have something to brag about

This young lady I do not see everyday but she is doing her job
and keeping the nest worm for her egg's I hope she gets some
little keets soon ......
