My mama hen came out of the nesting box yesterday, but went back into another box (one with no eggs) to settle back down. I'm not sure how long she was out, maybe an hour, give or take. To me, the eggs felt a bit cool. I put her back on them, she settled right down on them.
How long can she be off of them without causing harm? Having trouble finding info on google, or past discussions here, maybe not using the right key words.

Re: How long can the mama come off the nest?
Wed, May 27, 2009 - 12:30 PMan hour or so should be fine, I've lost power for about 7 hours to my incubator and I had a successful hatch with no problems. -
