After the first chick hatches, how long will the broody stay on the nest for? It's been 3 days and she doesn't appear interested in coming off. Only 1 chick has hatched so far so I put a feeder and waterer in and she has been showing it to eat and drink. I know the eggs are still viable so I don't want her to abandon them but I'm worried about the chick too, shouldn't she be taking it outside soon?
