However, every time I go out there, Granite (mama hen) is out with her other 2--but the egg is still warm to the touch when I feel it. I brought it in and put it on...

    Abandoned eggs, no incubator... will this work?

    I have a duck named Hula who recently hatched 6 ducklings, with still 8 eggs to go. Well, she kinda ditched her nest and the chickens decided to dig around and ruined the nest and buried her eggs. I was able to get all of them together, and they're only a day or so from hatching. I have no...
