9 eggs disappeared whilst hen is sitting?

Have to agree she would have kicked out any no good so if the snake took them then who cares ... would a snake steal them from under her?

I doubt a snake would steal one from under her but maybe while shes out getting food

Oh nooo...hope it wasn't a snake. I hope that mom just knew they wouldn't hatch and kicked them out of the nest. Keep us posted!

I found an egg lying outside the coop on the ground, and the nesting box with the broody hen it quite far from the door so i assumed that it was from the other hen as her box is right next to the door, anyways i went to give it to my dog as a treat as it was covered in mud but when i broke it open there was a half formed chick in it so i think she must of kicked it out. It made for a good treat for the dog though
