I have a Production Red that went broody- I know unlikely but this is the second one to do it. She had 10 eggs, 2 have hatched (she collected them over a 2-3 day period. 2 have hatched and are walking around, but there are 8 eggs left. 1 is pipped, the others have no sign. This afternoon she decided to take the chicks for a stroll (we have her in a 6x8 run with a large wooden box with shaving, food etc). She has pooed in the box, ON THE EGGS! Maybe this is why PR make bad broodies-
Anyhow I wiped the really messy eggs off, but she is still not returning. What should I do? Figure that's it? Wait for her to set back? Put the eggs in an incubator and hope they hatch?
HELP!
BTW it's in the 90s here, so the eggs won't get that cold...
