I feel the same! This is a first time hatching for the hen. Will they really kick a bad egg out? The nesting box is tight so other then kicking it to the floor I don’t know what she would do to it!
Hey group!
First time using a broody hen for incubating purchased fertilized eggs. She is doing a fantastic job, I actually have to gently get her off the nest daily or I don’t think she would pause to eat or drink.
I already pulled one egg out that had a little secretions and not great smell...
