My hen has been sitting for 5 days. Checked her nest this afternoon while she got out for some exercise and found two eggs had been crushed. I understand things happen however my question is should I try to clean out the mess from the nest in order to get the remaining eggs out of the spent yolks. With 100 degree temps in South Mississippi and no relief in site you can imagine the stinch. Also, I worry about bacteria.
On a side note, my hen seems to hate bedding in her nest. Thus, eggs are sitting in hard bottomed nesting boxes. Big deal or leave it alone?
