I can easily move her to the brooder now, she will have tons of space there. She’s currently in a large tote. I’ve been checking on her a couple times during the day to clean out her poops and give her fresh water. She definitely isn’t bothered by me messing with her.

She currently has 7 eggs. I don’t expect all of them to make it to hatch as it’s her first time and a few mistakes were already made. If they don’t hatch I will have other chicks she can have and raise in the brooder if she wants them. I don’t plan to move her back outside until the next warmer...

Thank you, I really appreciate the information. I did move her inside last night and she was totally fine. She has a large food and water dish that she can absolutely reach without getting up. It was quite comical to watch her peck through the crumbles without leaving her nest lol. Fingers...

I’d definitely like to see if she’ll continue to sit, some of the eggs she was sitting on were the last eggs layed by my favorite silkie who passed away recently. If she doesn’t break I’ll definitely use the method you recommended. Thank you so much for your opinions. Will be moving her inside...

How would it be extending it? I thought brooding was a natural cycle for chickens? And do I just let the eggs die if they’re already almost 5 days along? I’m not trying to sound rude at all, just trying to learn.

Should I just move her inside and see if she still wants to sit? I have a very large indoor brooder where she can have room to raise what hatches in better temps.

My silkie hen just decided she wanted to brood some eggs. My question is, will it be too cold once they hatch? Is it too cold for her to even successfully incubate? It’s and 35 degrees Fahrenheit here at night and 50 during the day. On another note I’m not even sure she can brood in the coop...
