I am new here, but joined so I can ask this question as time is of the essense.
I have a chicken we will call Penny. She has 2 eggs that she has been sitting on for 3 weeks. They should be hatching soon if they are going to hatch. Well, I have another chicken we call fro (she has an afro
) and we found her on a nest in the yard. She has 7 eggs. So we have a bobcat and were afraid to leave her in the open. We moved her to the coup and moved her eggs, made her a nest in the nesting box beside Penny, and arranged her eggs in it. Well, she won't sit on them. So....Penny has gotten off her 2 eggs and is not sitting on Fro's eggs. What should I do??? Should I put them all under Penny when hers will hatch any day? Will she keep sitting on Fro's after her 2 hatch? Or should I let Fro back out and let her go back to her dangerous nest in the yard as bobcat bait? Thanks for any insight you can give me.
