Why are my chickens always standing up while they're sitting on there eggs

[Silver6780]

So I have 2 girls and one boy! When I put the chickens in there home they stand up for like couple of minutes than sit down what is causing this to happen!

I'm not understanding your question...

Stand when sitting on eggs? Like is one broody? are these fake eggs in the nesting boxes? Are you collecting egg regularly?

In the evening the chickens should be gong to roosting bars not nests. But it is very normal to evaluate the area before settling in for the night. same with the nests of they are going to lay they may stand for a few minutes to evaluate the area before getting comfortable to lay an egg.

But if they are old enough to lay eggs they should not be sleeping in the nests. And eggs should not stay in the nests... If you are hoping to hatch its best to place fake eggs and collect real ones untill someone is ready

If they are hatching eggs that a broody is sitting on its probably that she is get talking a minute to evaluate the area before settling down in the eggs.

 

[Lazy Farmer]

Stretching, on guard, and turning then accordingly.

 

[chickens really]

They cool the eggs off and get the humidity to drop at times...

I mean like when I put them back to there eggs they sit down but than couple of minutes stand up and I don't know how long because eggs die if left in the cold for 4 hours and these are real eggs

Not true bout the four hour thing, and they need to eat and poop! Just let them do their thing, or you’ll kill them.

Why are you taking them out in the first place? Leave them alone.
Are the hens broody? If not, they won't sit on and hatch eggs.

They are not broody

They are not broody

If you are talked no about when they lay eggs, they take a min to get comfortable.
