    Broody hen and purchased eggs help

    Okay, I admit it I can get overzealous and excited when I get an idea. I'm learning as I go. I have a Buff Orphington that has been sitting on a nest for several days. My cockerel is still young and not experienced yet so I figure I dont have consistent fertile eggs yet. I purchased a dozen...
