I agree with pyxis,
But if I want a hen to go broody, i place a large amount of fake eggs where they lay, and often one does go broody there, but when she does, make sure to switch the fake eggs with real ones!
Hi Bumble,
Good thinking to bring the other eggs in, is it winter or summer there?
If its summer than they have a really good chance of surviving, but if its winter, depending how cold it is, they have a much lower chance, but you should find out soon if the other eggs have already hatched.

Hi, if the baby is coming out by them self, then they must be ready, and they should be fine.
But make sure once the baby has fluffed up in the incubator, to take it out, put it under a heat lamp and make sure it has access to food and water.
The day after it hatches, make sure it drinks!
Hi, i'm not sure what to do with the crossed legged one, but whenever we get a splayed legged chick, we use rope and sticky tape to hold them inwards, make sure it is not to tight, and replace when it does, and after normally 3-6 days their legs grow straight, and they can walk on their own...
Hi, I would also probably say to sometimes supervise them outside. Also maybe take them swimming in the bathtub, when we had ducklings, they really enjoyed that!
