We have a broody hen. Almost every night one of her eggs goes missing. Last night I left an egg sitting off by itself and it wasn’t touched but one of hers is. The first three that went missing were growing and due in a week. The one that went missing last night is a new egg under her. What would go after a warm egg under a chicken and ignore a much easier target? There are also two babies in that same coop that haven’t been touched. Rat? Snake? Wouldn’t both of those go after the live chicks or easier egg first? Thanks much. We have a rat trap but won’t do much good if it’s a snake.
