@apryl29 She doesn’t leave the nest. They can come and go from the coop as they please. The food and water are close but I think far enough she’d have to step out of the box to reach it.

Then I'd say she has plenty of opportunity to eat/ drink, 'you can lead a horse to water', etc.. I don't remember ever being this concerned delivering kittens.
IDK if it's right, but I put my food an water in the back of the nesting box so she doesn't knock it over if she does come out of the box. I noticed Loki stretching her neck out to get a few pieces of feed that were sitting on a divider so I figured it'd be better to get it as close to her as possible b/c she wasn't interested in leaving to eat. I used your milk jug idea, but put it up against the back wall and she could get to it w/ barely standing up. You can see it in the very blurry picture below. I didn't want her having to get up much b/c Jackie keeps trying to steal her nest. I don't *think* Jackie is going broody (I could be very wrong)... she's new-ish at laying so I think she thinks she's supposed to lay where all the eggs are so she settles in to the box when Loki gets up. Tuesday when I originally found Loki, Jackie was sitting in the box w her even though she'd already laid her egg (which was under Loki).
ETA: I have no idea what I'm doing & just hoping nature does.

Now I hear 'somebody peed the bed'. LOL The Somebody peed the bed is 'Gonna feed the baby'. It's so funny... I need context though, did they teach the bird this, or did it start saying it on it's own?

They would have to teach it. Repetition and good enunciation are key.

She's got room to walk around if she wanted to. You can see the dark dish is food and the silver and red is water. It's a chick waterer I have set up on an old cake pan. I've put food right in with her but she's in a broody coma. If I sit there and put a dozen broken pellets in my hand she will take them. I put both a little closer then in the picture but I don't want her to knock over the water trying to get in and out of the box. I put her in front of it yesterday so she could see nest and she "tuk tuk tuk" gulped down some water then "tuk tuk tuk" back to the nest.
No poop worries me. If she isn't eating and drinking much then there isn't anything to poo but still....
 
Morning everyone!

Still fighting to get the garden planted.

The last few days the puppies are acting up.
their play is way to rough and borderline snarky.
Putting them outside in their separate runs results in barking, whining and even snarky face through the fence.
I do not know why the change but certainly wont tolerate it.

Right now Delilah is in the basement and Sable is upstairs. It makes it hard to get anything done when they are being taters.

Since they are separate and quiet I guess I can go back to digging up nasty weeds and the remaining raspberry roots.
