I have a broody barnevelder. She has been sitting on 15 eggs for over a week. Today, I check on her and ALL of the eggs are gone. They were there yesterday. She also has a few broken eggs stuck to her feathers. What happened to her babies?!?

Thank you for your help! I now have 3 roosters and 4 hens. I hate to get rid of them but I don't have a choice as they will harm my hens. One if them is even aggressive toward my kids. Any recommendations for places to take the roosters?

We moved into our house in October. The previous owners had a chicken coop and left it here. A couple of days after moving in we realized they had left a chicken in the coop. My daughters named her Sophie so after that she was officially our pet. We thought she would need some companions, and...
