She Is standing on the eggs not sitting

Is there any infestation in her box

Do you mean her toes?

 

[Zainthe]

Yes

Thats normal. Chicken toes are supposed to be somewhat soft, especially the pads onbthe underside.

How hot is it where you are? It's possible the nest is too warm and she's letting them cool down
