I have 2 broodies on day 21. One chick hatched this morning. I've peaked in a few times and the hatchling is out and about out from under mom. Both hens are still sitting on 15 eggs (7 under one and 8 under the other).
I peaked in just now and one of the hens off her eggs and sitting on the other hens chick by her nest box. I can hear another chick under the hen who hatched one.
I picked her up and put her back on her eggs and put the chick in the box with her. She has taken one chick but the other doesn't seem to mind.
Now another problem. I'm seeing ants. Maybe there is a bad egg!!!
What should I do?!?!?
Move the hen that got off her eggs? Candle them and put the good ones under the other hen?!?
Do nothing?!?
