Broody hen hatching eggs in hot temperatures

[TEXchickendude]

My hen is sitting on some eggs she is due soon I live in central Texas and it's been hot 90-100 degrees and it looks like not all eggs will hatch what do u guys think

Are they clears? What makes you think they won’t hatch?

I would keep them there until your absolutely sure they won't hatch! The temp for the eggs need to be around 99.5 degrees, so honestly this temp sounds perfect to me!! I would LOVE to see some pics of your broody, and also the eggs if they hatch! How many eggs does she have under her?? Is she a smaller hen or a larger hen?? When is the hatch date??

Good luck!

Did you candle the eggs? I would suggest candling them. How long has your broody been sitting?
Is your broody in a coop nesting box? I would put a water dish with electrolytes or NutriDrench & ice cubes right in front or beside her to keep her hydrated. Heat stress is tough on all chickens, but a broody cooped up in a hot coop in 90-100 degrees is even more stressful!

21 days should be tomorrow and she had like 15 Eggs from other hens laying in the same nest but now has less. some went bad. And as for candling. The eggs are too dirty to see anything clearly her poop and yolk from the bad eggs makes it hard

She is a game hen and originally had like 15 eggs from other hens laying in the same nest and I also put some serama eggs under her but she has less now and tommorow should be her hatch date

OK, if other hans were layng fresh eggs with her all along you have stagered batch.
Meaning not all eggs due to hatch at the same time, bad news.
also if eggs have broken or exploded under her and they are all poopy and comtaminated, you will be lucky to get any chicks.
Next time you have a broody, put her in a separate broody pen where she is undisturbed for the 21 days. All eggs must be set at the same time so they hatch at the same time.
You can save eggs up to a week before placing them under a hen. Dont wash or refrigerate them. Choose clean eggs.
I dont hold much hope foe your current batch, but nature may suprise us.
Keep us updated.
