Eggs in a nest.

[indigo flats]

What is the maximum number of eggs a hen will lay in a nest before she starts to sit and hatch them?

It really depends on her, sometimes 3 some times they will never go broody but usually at least from my experience about 7-10

My hen quit laying in the nest box in the coop and built a hidden nest and now has seven eggs in it. I want know if she is broodyvare not until I see her sitting in it. Was wondering if she is going to visit how many eggs it would be. I hope she goes broody if not I loose those eggs.

What breed is she, she very well could go broody

Americana she lays blue eggs. Rooster is a mixed EE breed with 5 toes on each foot that's all I know about him.
