Fertilized eggs time ????

[mikden]

I'm bidding on a batch of fertilized eggs through this site... I only have one broody hen to set them... If I recieve 12 or more eggs to hatch....should I put them all under her at one time or is there a way to split them and hold some if anything goes wrong with the first batch? My broody is a 3 year old Buff Orpington who has a very strong broody streak, but it would be her first setting since all last year we kept trying to break her to no avail.... thank you....

I would not hold the eggs for more than a week.

Let her have em all,trust me she knows how to take care of em...
My broodies allways do a better job than me....
If I have broodies now they would be on my Sussex eggs and the bantam eggs from pamperedpoultry.
I trust them more with my bought eggs then I do myself.
