I would cook an egg for her, and serve it. That is one thing hard for the hens to resist in my experience. If you by chance have some canned cat food,,,,, try giving her a spoon of it.

She ate a scrambled egg for breakfast, and seemed a lot better afterward. This afternoon it was 97 degrees, and she was off the nest having a drink of water. She stayed off the nest for a little while until it cooled down. She probably knows that her warmth plus the temperature would have made it too warm for the eggs.

She is sitting on the 7 Leghorn eggs plus one that she laid sometime either yesterday or today.

Where's Dora at? Could it have been her egg?

Possibly. Sometimes they do squeeze into the same nest box. It's a really tight fit. There are two identical nest boxes, but they insist on using the same one.

That's typical of hen's. I seen a time where there were 3 hen's in one nesting box, and the 4th hen was standing in the empty nest box wanting to get in the box with the other 3.

Either way, those 2 Dorking girl's egg's wouldn't be fertile now without a rooster.

The Dorking eggs will probably just go bad in the nest.

The three Dorking chicks are doing fine. That antibiotic arrived, but it's probably not needed any more.

Wouldn't those explode when they go rotten and make a mess under Mari, and possibly ruin the good one's?

Well, at least you have some of the antibiotic on hand for in the future if needed.
