I had a hen go broody last week. She laid on (5) eggs for about 5 days and then gave up or got kicked out. A day later another broody starting laying on them and has been every since. Are they still viable or should I give the new broody new eggs? There was only 1 day they weren't sat on. I tried candling but not seeing anything. (They are welsummer, barred rock, and blue eater egger eggs) I can see the yolk floating, in the middle of the egg but nothing else. Do I let her try these, or go ahead and give fresh? Does the day they weren't sat on mess it up? It's been about 10 days now all together. TIA!
 
If you are not seeing any development after 10 days I would guess that the eggs are not fertile. This might be a dumb question but do you have a rooster?
