My Serama hen had 4 eggs. One hatched a sweet healthy chick last Tuesday. The other 3 eggs haven't hatched yet. The hen continues to sits on these eggs while caring her for little chick. I am concerned that there is something wrong with the remaining eggs. The hen ate 2 other eggs 2 weeks before the one chick hatched. If there is something wrong with these 3 remaining eggs- would the hen eat them by now? I dont want to give up hope but this hen is exhausted. She has been sitting on these eggs since around Jan. 16th. Any suggestions would be grateful. Thank you!
 
Have you picked them up and smelled them? Maybe candle them and see what you can tell? If it is harming your hen then dont risk her health for the sake of two eggs!
