MJ's little flock

We got to dinber time yesterday and again Ivy had not left the nest. So I lifted her down again. There were no eggs under her. Here's a photo of her still in her trance. A few minutes later she'd woken up and gone to eat and drink.

It's not good that she doesn't feed, water and bathe herself.

Should I leave her be to encourage her to be attentive to her hunger and thirst? IMG20200922171828.jpg

NO! If she's not doing it herself you need to get her going. I was away but I had a chook trance herself to death. Do not let her do this! Make sure she's off that nest @ least once a day. I'd actually break her I think, @ this point ~ unless you are considering fertile Legbar eggs...?
