Thank you so much for the input, I will place the chick food in as soon as we have some chicks. We are at day 15 today so another 7 to go. I have her in a 6' x 6' pen with her own 'nesting crate' and the food and water are at the other side of the enclosure and she gets up pretty regularly and stretches her legs, produces the most enormous poop, eats, drinks and goes back to her nest. She has kept it clean so far. Here's hoping...
