If she leaves them for too long they could die. When I moved mine they settled straight away so I don't really know. Let us know if she is sitting or not when you return home from work!
sorry your hatch didnt go so well, but your chick is precious!!Well after starting with 8 eggs only one hatched. On Monday (day 23) I saw a broken shell but no chick and she had moved the whole nest into the corner of the coop. I tried to look under mama and saw two eggs so I decided to leave her be and wait till day 25 before messing with her. Well yesterday I come home from work and mama is out in the pin sunbathing so I thought she abandoned the nest and most likely none of the eggs were viable so I went to collect the eggs two where whole still but cold and one was half hatched with a dead chick inside. We went over to check on the broody and a little black chick popped out. It must have hatched on Monday and then after the other one didn't hatch she took this chick outside. She seemed very comfortable around the rest of the flock. She wouldn't let just anyone eat with her and the new baby but she had no problem with the rooster being around the chick. One of my RIR's was checking out the new chick and the broody gave her a death look and the RIR decided she had seen enough.
Take it Bunny is still broody?
