If you remove all the eggs, they will most likely find a better hidden place to lay. Mark the eggs that you leave and collect the freshly laid eggs daily.I found a hen sitting on a nest tonight. I removed her and escorted her to the coop. This flock was hatched 4/12/22. Would the eggs even be viable at their age?
ETA, I don’t want keets this year. Do I put some eggs back in the morning to keep this hen to a known nesting location so I can escort her to the coop every night? Or get rid of all eggs and hope she forgets about it?
The eggs are most likely viable.
