Hey Chicken experts, I have had my Easter Eggers for almost a year. 4 hens and 3 roosters.
My hens have all started laying in same nest box through the day taking turns and I have NOT removed 7 eggs now over 24 hour period of time. I need more hens and want to expand flock naturally as mine are all free range but say near coop all day. Will eggs be okay if incubation doesn’t occur a few nights? Temps are between 45-55 F in my are. My roosters are even trying to broody eggs now too. I have dated eggs today and will remove extra. I don’t know what else I should do at this point to ensure healthy chicks? I need all information I can get please.
