In general it's not a good idea to put that many eggs under a broody hen. If any eggs are sticking out from under her, it's too many. If any of the eggs don't feel as warm as those in the nest center, it's too many. Fewer eggs will usually result in a better hatch. When there's too many eggs, different eggs get chilled so that by hatch day none, or few, of the eggs are still viable and hatch.i have a broody hen named macaroon with 20 eggs. is this to many?
20 is more than most hens can successfully brood, but in warm weather a really large hen can cover quite a few.i have a broody hen named macaroon with 20 eggs. is this to many?
They might be a bit too many, because not all of them would be able to get the warmth needed, and even if they do, it may be very difficult for her to keep them warm once they're hatched and growing.i have a broody hen named macaroon with 20 eggs. is this to many?
