Recently one of my pullets - a 5 months old serama, has gone broody but we didn't know where the nest is. Today I was home, so when she took her daily break - I followed her on her way back to the nest. I found a cute, small nest she made, with 9 TINY eggs!
Thats already about day 10 of incubation. I have candled a few eggs and saw veins.
The question is - what should be done now?? She is extremely young as mentioned above and its not healthy for her... We also can't be sure she will stay broody for another 11 days. On the other hand - the eggs are developing and I can't make her leave them by breaking her broodiness now.
Will she keep sitting till day 21?
What should I do now?
Thank you all!
