I know it's hopeless..right?

Yes they where in the coop
If they are on the floor of the coop then they layed on them if they eggs are in the nest boxes they aren't it's weird but that's how it it

The chicken eggs are brown and when candlling, no light came through what so ever ( except the air sell on a few)

Thanks for all your efforts but all the eggs died (they smelled bad andthe temp somehow went to 80 something)
We cracked them open and they did have chick's in them they weren't alive but they where there. So out of the maybe 15-20 eggs we started with all but four had chick's and all where at different stages some where fully feathered and some where just starting out but they where just laying there and weren't being layed on.
Although another hen had a nest in there and was chased away by the snake

That's something I forgot to mention the hen that is still brooding had another nest right beside another hen than a racoon or another hen got in there and ate alot of eggs then they gathered all the eggs left (they did not us) put them side by side and layed on them side by side then the snake got in there and the second one left (I forgot about her sharing)


Sorry I haven't been on awhile I have been busy

P.s the hen still brooding she's has got to be on day 20 atleast by now but nothings happend our friend that breeds birds has some duck and chicken eggs incubating they said that they are fully formed and just not hatching so I wonder if somethings going on?

Thanks

i know its been awhile i was busy and the eggs never hatched and our rooster died last week
