lovely looking birds! Can I give you a friendly piece of advice from someone just had her third broody : you need to be patient, and just let her get on with it now. I know it's agony, and you really want to know what's going on under her, but human interference can be as bad as or worse than interference from other chickens. Let her teach you to be patient

I have a question:
So I do have her in a box, I feel like it’s a bad idea but I have touched her a lot should I put her back in the coop?
I’ve taken her off her eggs at least 7 times for her to eat/drink/poop/ and stretch. I feel like if I move her again she will forget about the eggs....? I don’t know... I’ve messed with her a lot I feel like, I’m new to this so I really want to get things right... please tell me if I’m doing anything wrong
also my chicken coops have ramps to get up into the houses for the night, will the babies be able to get up? I. Scared they won’t, and maybe the mama will realize this and sleep on the ground, if so I’ll put a box on the floor of the run so they have a little bit more protection...

I’ll Attach pictures if you need them just tell me
T.I.A

Personally i wouldn't move her. Often hens will reject eggs once they've been moved. Plus you want her separate from the flock so eggs don't get broken.

Awesome! Thanks, should I move her and her chicks in the coops when they all hatch? Also, what about the ramps? Will the babies be able to get up the ramps into the house of the coops where they sleep?

I would just leave her be now till the chicks hatch.
The ramp will be a problem for a couple of days, but we can sort that out when the time comes.

Ok thank you, I’ll do updates when they hatch and we’ll figure out the ramps later like you said, thank you so much!

Are you prepared with chick feed and a drown-proof waterer for the babies? Babies shouldn't drink from or be around adult waterer.

Let mama raise them where she is now. She'll know when its time to move them.

I have all poultry feed right now and am about to get another bag, it’s for adults and babies.
I do have a drown-proof waterer that I will hook up. So should she raise her babies in the box she it in now? Until she knows when to move them and when that happens, I’ll just put her our in the yard with the others?
Sorry for so many questions :l

Right now I have these for the waterers in the yard. But I’ll put out my Drown-proof waterer
