I have a question ( it's probably obvious but I'm going to ask anyway lol)
I have a naked neck hen that's only been laying for 2 weeks and has gone broody, since she has been sitting (5 days) she has still laid 2 of her own and has been collecting the eggs from my brahma these are probably fertile as we do have a large roo. Obviously she has collected the eggs that have been laid over the week so they will not all be due on the same date, will she just keep sitting until every egg hatches or will she move onto looking after the first one to hatch and give up on the eggs?
