So our hen has been sat on 13 eggs up until now, I wasn't convinced they'd all be chicks/fertile so posted on the forum before.
I've just been out 2 candle the eggs 2 find the chick is now only sitting on one egg and has buried the rest under straw. 11 eggs were together under the straw and felt cold I've candled them all and I'm 90% sure 10 of the eggs were fertile, after looking at candled fertile eggs on google I'm sure ours were.
There's one egg buried under straw well away from the others this one felt extremely cold and I'm sure it was fertile.
The one she's sat on is warm and indeed I think that is fertile 2.
I'm just wondering the ones under the straw that are cold does that mean they won't develop? Should i leave them in the nest she's made for them? Do I take them out?
Have I caused her 2 do this by peaking at the eggs the other day?
Am I just being silly.
