I have a broody chicken (on her third day) that I'd like to put fertile eggs under. I can't get the eggs for another week, which means she'll be sitting on duds for 11 days total before I get the fertile eggs under her. Will this work?
Or will she likely give up on the eggs since it will probably be about 32 days from the start of her broodiness to hatching? Would it be dangerous to her to sit on eggs that long if she was willing? Thanks for any advice!
