I have 2 hens sitting on eggs one had 7 serama eggs, out of those 7, 5 made it to full term and only one hatched the others died in the shell
. Under the other hen are 8 mixed cochin eggs, today is day 22 and so far i have 3 chicks and no more peeps but they are pecking in there. I went to get in the shower and when i got out i smelled something HORRIBLE. I went to check on the babies and realized the hen had a broody bowel movement everywhere, all over the eggs,chicks, walls everywhere !!!!!
I have NEVER had this happen to me before, all but one egg was just completely covered in broody poo
if that wasn't bad enough she then got back on the eggs full of poo
I had no choice but to rinse them off there was no simply wiping them, i didn't submerge them in water I used a wet paper towel to get it off. Is this gonna kill the chicks inside the eggs?? SHould i get them out of there now? I got everything cleaned up the best i could but im sure there are a few spots i missed under the hen. Man what a mess
