So I have 5 broody hens that all went broody around the same time! 1 of them is the mom hen and the other 4 are her daughters from November's hatch. They are due to hatch chicks this weekend, however, each time they get up to eat and drink they get into different nests from where they started. I candled the eggs this past weekend while all of them decided to go dust themselves, eat, and drink, and found most of the eggs were clear and could see and feel the liquid moving inside of them. Out of 17 of them, 10 were discarded. My aunt said that the spring/summer heat (90 to 100 degrees daily) spoiled their eggs, and its not a good time for them to hatch chicks. I was wondering if all the shuffling between the hens jumping into different nests each time they got up could also ruin the eggs due to different body temps? It would be horrible if none of them hatched any chicks. I should have asked for advice earlier and maybe build small coops to separate them. Any thoughts? I know it's kind of late now.
