Good afternoon, I live on the island of Barbados where there are many wild/street hens. Although we have discussed keeping chickens and ducks and have kept an area of our garden quite wild for it, we haven't got around to it yet, until it seems today. I awoke to find a wild hen nesting in a corner, I put her some food and water down nearby but left her well alone. She has since after making a racket left my yard leaving a whopping 12 eggs behind. Will she come back? Should I just leave them? It would be nice to have them hatch but a complete beginner I have no idea what to do for the best. Is it even normal for a hen to lay 12 eggs?
Thanks I'm advance for any help offered.
*Update the chicken has returned at 8 am today with a rooster. After announcing their arrival he has perched on the wall and is watching her on the nest. Eggciting stuff
