We had 3 hens trying to go broody at the same time in different pens. The first hen we gave eggs to is content. The second one we gave eggs to last night is off of them, but "hunkered down next to the eggs. We don't know how long she's been off and it's in the 80's today.
Can we try to set the third hen late tonight on the eggs the second hen gave up on, or would that be like starting embryos, stopping them, and then trying to "restart" them hours later? In other words, would these still be viable to use, or should we get a fresh batch?
