Giving a hen eggs with 14 days left

[cmobley]

I had some eggs incubating and realized that lockdown was going to be while we were out of town next week. They have 14 days to go and my bourbon red hen decided yesterday she wanted to start hoarding silkie eggs so I gave her the Turkey eggs. She immediately plopped down on them and doing her thing. Will this short incubation time left mess her up or be an issue?

No, she’ll do just fine! I’ve done this multiple times and it doesn’t affect them. Hope your little babies hatch!
