I have a one year old Wyandotte that went broody 4 weeks ago. I don't have a rooster, so obtained 4 possibly fertile eggs from a friend. After sitting 2 more weeks on these eggs, @ candled sterile, and one fertilized but died. Today 3/4/13, she left the nest for 5 hours. When I put her to bed, she went back to sitting on cold eggs. Our feed store gets next shipment of peeps on 3/6/13.. Can I still swap out sterile eggs for live chicks? Will she accept and raise them? Precious mom. (Precious was a favorite Sussex rescue that died this week.)
