    Does a hen know if her egg is fertilized?

    A few more questions...I am a nervous wreck! How do I get it out from under her to see it is viable? Is there anything I need to know about handling the egg?? Will she only lay that one egg to be hatched? Or should I try to sneak on of the other Bantam eggs under her & see what happens?

    Does a hen know if her egg is fertilized?

    I noticed that she was 'missing" yesterday evening when I went to let the kids out of the run to play a while, and I was terrified she was dead in the coop.

    Laying 2 eggs at a time?!?

    I went out about 2 hours ago to check on the crew, and noticed that my husband had not filled their water up like I asked him to, as they were out yesterday. I looked for an egg in the nesting box & it was empty. I chalked it up to being out of water for a day & 1/2. (I will handle him later )...

    The barred rock pullet is a a lot bigger than the others & she tends to be bit brute-ish . She picks on the smaller cochin so she may be the problem. Thank you, I will get the new feed this weekend.
