Ok, so my clumsy silkie has broken two of the eggs she has been sitting on in the past two days. She still has six eggs under her but the problem is these eggs are now covered in yolk etc. The eggs are now at about day 12. I'm not sure what to do as I've read that dirty eggs won't hatch well, but I've also read that you shouldn't clean eggs. And it's not even like poo that can kind of be flaked off a bit so I'm not sure how clean I'd be able to get them anyway. Do I just leave the eggs and hope for the best - I'm sure this sort of thing happens in nature! Any advice would be apprecited - this is my first time hatching eggs and it is STRESSFUL!
