How much longer before Duchess hatches any of those eggs? Any idea how many are Nuggetron's babies? I know she was stealing eggs as well.
I feel like I'm watching the incubator!!

I don't know, she's got eggs from different hens, different times, I'm watching her closely though because some of them should be getting pretty close to hatching! Daddies,, nope,, but I do need to get an updated pic of hers and Nugget's first one.

Well I heard a bunch of squawkin' and talkin' so I went to see what was up. Charlotte was on top of Duchess's broody nest, her own is the kennel below the one Duchess is in. Duchess got out to get a drink so I hot footed it over to check some eggs out and she's back up to over 20 eggs darn it!

Those crazy broodies!

Where is she getting all the eggs from? Are other chickens able to get in there and lay?

Yes they can get in there with her and as long as they leave an egg she doesn't mind at all!
