I tried searching for an answer before ringing ya'll, but theres a gazillions posts and I didnt see anything similar so...
DINGALING, givin' ya'll a ring !
Have a broody hen thats been separated in her own special place with food & water & a nice nest box with 6 eggs.
She's been setting for a week now and tonight when I went to candle the eggs to see what we had going on I discovered she's messed on ALL the eggs.
They all have fecal matter smeared on them lightly.
I read in my chicken book that fecal bacteria can contaminate the developing chick and it had conflicting opinions about cleaning the outer shell.
Soooooooo what do I do?
Does anyone have experience with this?
Appreciate yer expertise.
THANKS
