I have two hens that went broody on the same day last week. One seems like she has all the good traits of a broody mom. The other gets feisty and protective, but changes boxes every day!! She is leaving the original eggs behind, and I keep putting them back under her. We are leaving town and will have a house sitter looking after the chickens and other pets, and I don't think anyone will be as concerned about these little eggs trying to grow as me. Should I just give her eggs to the mama who is taking good care of her clutch, and let her do whatever while we're away? Thanks in advance!
