Broody on non-fertile eggs guestion?

[GaNewChick]

Lil Britches has decided to go broody. Problem is she lays non-fertile eggs and was only laying on one. I pulled it out and grabbed 2 from another coop that should be fertile. Will this work?

Thanks!!!

Yep, it should! As long as she sticks it out.

Good luck!

ETA: Why only two? She looks like she could handle a few more and it would give her a better chance of getting a couple of chicks.

I have some large eggs that were laid from my Bhramas ... are they too big to put under her?

The large egg has a crack in it ... if I gather any tomorrow can I put them under her, with these set today? Or just leave it a 2.

I wouldn't add any because she may not stay on the nest after the first ones hatch. You could pull these and gather eggs for a couple of days and start over..
