    Well, I figured it out. She is a Cochin, but she is very determined to be broody AGAIN. She became broody DURING her chick raising period, so she’s just a crazy brood…

    I figured it out!! There were 3 eggs under her I didn’t see and weren’t allowing the chicks to get under making her mad

    I had air cells like that, surprisingly chicks did still hatch I just left them to do what eggs do. I really only worry at day 10 candling and then hatch days, but seeing its an incubator, candle again on day 14 and see if anything smells or no movement. If they move keep them, if they smell...
