[fluffiestchick]

help my hen has stopped sitting on her clutch of eggs at 1 and a half weeks. yes this usually wouldn't be a problem except I have 10 or so eggs in my incubator at the moment so they are at 18 days where I have to raise the humidity and stop the automatic turnerso I can'tputs the others in because of that so what should I do? I've put them in there for the moment because I'm taking the turner out this evening and I haven't done it yet What to doooooo!?!?!?!?!

Have you tried just putting the eggs back, put her in and enclose the nest area so she cant get out she might then sit back down with nowhere else to go. If she doesn't after 20 min your only choice is to call around and see if you can borrow a bator from a neighbour or friend. Hope she does though maybe she just got hungry how long was she off the nest? They do get off every now and again for food and water at the start and it doesn't hurt the eggs to cool down a bit.
