I have one very broody hen. She is currently sitting on 2 eggs that aren't going to hatch, was doing so well but she cracked them basically!
I have a little r-com incubator that currently has 2 duck eggs that I hope will hatch! One didn't prove to be fertile.
I want to swap over the ones in the incubator when they are about to hatch or when they have hatched. Will she know?! I was thinking of buying those nest eggs to keep her occupied and so I can throw the eggs away before they start to smell. The incubator has 14 days left to go.
If she does reject them I am prepared look after them in a brooder at home but would rather she done it!
Just wanted some advice thanks!
