? about hen setting and any advise to get my hen to go broody faster

[joshyoua_rine]

i purchased 6 oegb hatching eggs and i have oegb hens that usually go broody just fine and i never have had any trouble with them but since these were paid for i just want to get it right. my question is should i just place all 6 eggs in the nest box at one time and hope she sets on them or a couple at a time? i will mark them to keep the separate any advise will be appreciated

I'm no expert, but I'd put some other eggs under her first -- ones from your current hens or even store-bought. See if she'll set on them before risking your purchased ones! Then if she settles in properly, switch the eggs under her out and put in your OEG eggs.
