I have a hen sitting on 6 eggs she has been sitting since April 8th. I separated her from the flock because my other hen was laying in her nest. She hasn't gotten off the eggs to eat or drink for a week at least, the weather here has been cool and rainy. The eggs should have started hatching on the 29th but so far nothing. How much longer should I let her sit? I am worried that she will die. Much as I want chicks, she is more important to me.
