So one of my hens went broody- I believe that's the term? She started sitting on a couple eggs a few days ago. Well now all of my other hens (4 of them) have started laying their eggs on top of her! Poor thing is trying to sit on all of these eggs they keep laying on her. So my questions are, do I mark eggs and take the new ones away? How will I know which ones she started with? She's a smaller hen so I found that they can lay on 6 eggs or so.. I'm not even sure how many she has now but I would guess close to a dozen. Any other tips or suggestions?
This is new to me and exciting! I was going to buy a incubator this year but looks like I lucked out on my own!
