Should I feed a broody hen in lockdown?

[JuliaSunshine]

When my first broody hen hatched eggs I fed her food and water in the nest and she didn't come out for 3 or 4 days until chicks were all hatched. She pooped in the corner of the nest without soiling the eggs or chicks.
Should I do the same to my second broody hen?
Or was I being too fussy with the first one?
How long can a broody hen go without food or water while hatching eggs?
Today is day 21 for my second hatching and the broody hen came out of the nest briefly yesterday.
I'm expecting her to go into lockdown from today.

As long as she has free access to feed and water if she decides she needs it,
leave her be. Never a good idea to feed in a nest.

Thank you.
She can jump down from the nest and eat and drink.
I think I meddled too much when my first one.
