Recently, we were hatching eggs with my 4-H bird. She went broody, and she successfully hatched 2 eggs. But, because she hatched the two, she has stopped sitting on her other eggs. I candled them, and all but one were un-developed or dead. So, after floating the egg that was full black, the egg would jolt back and forth in the water as of now. My hen will even peck at the egg and reject it. We have no other broody's, and Im not sure what to do with it!
Help!
 
Broodies usually know what they are doing. There may be something wrong with that one. If you don't have an incubator or another broody you may want to put it in your armpit or cleavage. I know it sounds strange, but many people have finished a hatch that way.
