So, a few weeks ago ( I think ) my Buff orp hen went broody. It surprised me because she had just started laying about 2 months before, so I waited 3 days and she still was broody and only getting out once a day for a/b 3 min. I was still researching about broody hens and it didn't dawn on me that she was sitting on pretty small eggs, since she was starting to lay. Sadly, I don't know the date she started setting, but i've heard that small eggs won't hatch chicks. Is that true? It's been more than 2 weeks, I know, but do I sack those eggs she has underneath her and give her big eggs from older hens, or break her???? HELP!!!
