Greetings From Botswana
I'm a newbie so take it easy on me... Have had a hen for about six months...Introduced a cockerel couple months ago... She is sitting on her eggs now and I know they are fertilized... she has left the eggs overnight a few times will these ever hatch???

Peace

Not if she left them all night more than once, and it was cold. Sorry.

If she leaves the eggs overnight, she's no broody or at least not full on broody. No, those eggs will not hatch.

I have a silkie hen that leaves the nest all the time. She lets the eggs get very cold when she goes out to eat and drink. Three out of seven of the eggs hatched.
