My hen has been on her eggs for 2 weeks tomorrow. Once or twice she hasn't managed to get back into the top nest box where her eggs are. I think she even spent a whole night off her eggs. Its roughly 5°C (41°F) at night and 22°C (71.6°F) during the day.
The eggs "should" hatch in about 8 days, but after researching, I doubt they are still viable.
Should I wait and see, or should I put her on new eggs in an easier spot for her to access? Will she stay broody for another 21 days, in a new easily accessible nest box?
Please help. I really want some more baba's and I have plenty of fertile eggs.
