2 broody hens. 18 eggs. 3 different batches(I think). 7 really close (2 internal pip under 1 hen). 5 a week or less out under a second hen. 6 in incubator only a week along. I don't know how far along each egg is and the ones that are really close will the hen stay for all of them or after a few have hatched will she walk away from the rest. Can I introduce newer babies to a hen with chicks a few days older. Just looking for some good advice so they can raise all of them and not me.
