I agree, however, you'll want to check on her to see if any eggs are getting cold.

I personally wold give her 7 or 9 rathe than 8 though.

Why 7 or 9 rather than 8?

Pretty big! around 8 eggs should be ok. Are they hers?

They would not be hers. She was never the best layer, and has stopped. I don't think she's laid for at least a week.

An odd number fits together better under her.

But they are fertilised for sure?

Oh, okay, that makes sense.

They should be. My roo is busy, if you get what I mean, *wink wink*.

And when I hatched my eggs a few weeks ago I only had one infertile one out of 13 eggs total.

Yes, I suggest an odd number from experience. Otherwise they stick out from under her.

Haha ok. Fun, surprise chicks!

There's always exceptions though -

Indeed. My hen accepted week old chicks once.
