Hi! I have my first broody too! Wondering what to do.. yours is adorable mine is a silkie. She is in the run in our chicken coop I put food in there for her I don’t have room to put a dog crate in the coop. I’m hoping she’s ok and does what she has to do as far as eat and drink. I didn’t want to put water in the coop because I don’t want anyone to knock it over. I think I’m going to candle in a day or so if she keeps sitting. I haven’t seen her get up at all but like others said maybe I missed it
As long as she is in a safe place let her sit. Mine was not in a safe place, the dog crate she is in is in my living room. When she was first sitting she didn't get up at all. A few days later she got up and now gets up once a day. I just make sure she has food and water near by. Once the eggs hatch then I will move her and her crate to the coop. Good luck and post updates. Feel free to use this thread! I will be posting updates in the next few days. It's almost time to candle again.
