Two days ago I checked on my broody hen and noticed an egg was slightly sticky, but decided to leave it. Well today I took a closer look and found an egg either exploded or cracked open, either way it was all over all the other 11 eggs! Also her feathers are sticky and stuck together. Are the eggs junk now? Is it possible it exploded under her, I heard it can happen in the incubator? Should I take her out and give her a bath...will this make her go unbroody? Any thoughts on this are greatly appreciated!
