   Found my hens hidden nest today with 10 eggs. She doesn't appear to want to sit so what do I do. I want them to hatch but not sure if I should leave them or bring them in to incubate. Just started eggs 2 days ago and still have room in incubator.

   She may be taking a break, going for food and water. Could the nest been abandon sometime ago. In nature, birds lay an egg a day and then sit to hatch them. I'm not sure if that's the same with chickens. I have had chickens Broody and don't go to far, however, never had the experience of hatching them. Hopefully someone with experience can help.
