Do you have to make a broody get up? I have 2 right now...both in a broody pen- together. One gets up at least every other day if not every day. She is more alert in general. The other I haven't seen get up in like 4 days- well since we moved her and started her on eggs. She is very low and flat and serious- zoned out, trance like state. She eats.....when I feed her. Should I force her off the nest- they only have like a 3 ft x 6ft yard then their nests. I don't want to bother her unnecessarily but I don't want her to get sick from lack of food, water, and exercise. And I don't want her to poop in the nest...which I don't think she has done yet.
Should I trust her instincts? or make her get up for a minute?
