my hen was sitting on a clutch of 7 or 8 for about a week now. When I got home today she was a sitting on a different clutch of eggs. I took out one of the eggs she was sitting on before to candle it and I saw nothing. But when I cracked open the egg, I saw baby chick developing, maybe 4 days along. I don't know what I should do with the rest of the eggs. I don't think she can handle sitting on 2 clutches. Should I put them in an incubator?. Its about 80 degrees here and she has not been sitting on the eggs for more than an hour. HELP
 
I would get them to an incubator as soon as you can and then candle after a few days to see if they are still viable. You could also move the eggs she was sitting on back under her until you can get the incubator up and running so she can keep them warm. Just mark them so you know which are which.
