    not so good hatch?

    I had 16 green eggs from 1 americana hen. They were small eggs and 8 were from the fridge. In all, only 4 hatched and 2 had problems. They could not stand up for any time. Just laid on their sides. What causes this. I help them up, they fall over and jump like popcorn.

    Going broody question.

    i have been collecting eggs daily from 2 BR hens. if i leave the eggs in the nest will the hens be more likely to go broody? i would like for them to hatch some instead of incubating. when i bought them the guy said they already laid and hatched out 14 eggs each last year.
