One of my hens went broody and I didn’t even notice until a few days ago.. she was in between our fence and the neighbors. I was wondering where all of our eggs were going.. I thought the crow was taking them all. anyways, yesterday she stopped being broody.. I think stray cats were messing with her.. there was 11 eggs and now only 6… I moved them to the nesting box last night and sat her back on top of them and this morning she was off again.. I candled the eggs.. 3 out of 6 I see growth.. it seems like she’s been sitting on them for awhile! I moved them to our incubator but I’m curious if they went too long without heat? And I gave our pig the eggs that had no growth.. I noticed an odd smell
