Hi, I just bought a pair of 1 year old Partridge Chantecler hens. They've been living with roosters so I believe their eggs should be fertile. Would it be reasonable to leave their eggs in the nest for a few days to see if one of them will set on them? Should I collect them first for a week or so and then put them in the nest? (I do not have a roo so these next few eggs will be the only fertile ones for me.) I don't have the inclination to incubate chicks, but I'd love it if I could add a few more chicks to my flock of 6
. Thanks in advance for any advice!
