is my hen broody she lokks like it but laid an egg

[rockriver]

My broody hasnt pooped for the past 36hrs she eats and drinks some i remove her daily and watch her eating but she hasnt pooped is this a bad sign

 

[Outpost JWB]

Yes, that's not good. Is she getting enough to eat and drink? Some people have had broodies starve to death. Their health deteriorates while they are going thru this process. I've had to physically remove my broody once or twice a day. She will poop 1st, eat, drink, dust bathe all in less than 10 minutes, then she goes back to the nest by herself.
