That sucks BC. I've had a broody do that before. I pitched her off the nest too and havent let her sit since.

Alaskan, wonder why she only hatched so few? Maybe someone else decided to rob her eggs and has been laying in her nest after she started sitting?

good to know. Thanks!
That's it for her. She doesn't have the patience. 14 days tops. She tried in the winter at -25c only to let her eggs get cold.
Really hope she doesnt try to eat the fresh daily eggs.

Well that's good.

I tried for about 20 minutes, all kinds of configurations on how to fit 11 eggs into the brinsea 7. Long story short 8 fit. I candled the 4 remaining from broody, 3 have veining, 1 is a maybe.

Tomorrow I am planning on driving to a feed store 1 1/2 hrs away from here. They have incubators. Trying to keep the eggs somewhat warm in the attic until then.

If u can find a GQF Genesis Hova Bator 1588...I HIGHLY recommend it

I'll keep that in mind. Hopefully they have more then 1 choice but I am thinking what ever it is, it'll hold more then 7 eggs.
