So yesterday I noticed that my hen had laid another egg, but when I checked the nest box this morning she had two, when yesterday there'd been three. I'm getting ready to go out and change the bedding. I also noticed that there was yolk on the outside of one of the eggs, so i'm pretty sure that the hen ate one.
which..is bad because these are fertile
any idea what happened? or how I can keep her from eating the rest of her clutch? Can chickens tell if a egg's bad?
