Help- how long can nest eggs chill?
Last night my hen was attacked on her nest. She seems to be okay but all the squawking and honking got me out of bed. There I was running around the backyard in my night gown waving my arms and yelling at invisible beasts, to leave my bird alone. Anyway, not knowing where her nest was in the... -
