Same situation but she kept getting more and more broody until eventually she actually did. It started with puffy, then hissing, then staying on the nest longer and longer each time.

If its a staggered one, yes, it would. When the chicks hatch and if the egg doesn’t within a reasonable amount of time, you must remove the egg. She will not tend to her babies if the egg doesn’t hatch. Hope all is well with the mom and chicks! :)

Then i would leave it. Im sure it will be okay.

One of these is what happened: Someone laid an egg with her because they love laying where broody hens are She stole an egg (they carry them under their wings or roll the eggs if they are close enough to the nest) Or a possible miscount They do not lay while hatching.

I wiped mine gently off just to be sure it wouldn’t contaminate any others, just try not to get it wet and be gentle.
