First hatch and I've got a few questions.

[Trent & Sue Stubblefield]

Set? We took them all on the same day and put them in the bator together, but they'd all been under her since they'd been hatched.

The eggs in the incubator aren't hatched. You're confusing me. Even with a broody hen you need to collect the eggs until you have how many you want her to have and then give them to her. If a broody has staggered eggs after the first couple days they are likely to abandon the older eggs in order to care for the new chicks.

Eggs should be collected from the coop daily.

 

[Trent & Sue Stubblefield]

I didn't know that. She went about a week without us collecting because we didn't know you could collect and put them all in together. I thought they'd die.

As long as they are stored properly, you can collect and them give them back to her that way they will be due at the same time. When you do give them to her, if she is not separated from others you want to mark the eggs and then check everyday to take out the unmarked eggs that the other will lay.
