Hello,
My hen is sitting, currently on day 21. I went out this morning and 1 egg was out and cold, candled both. The cold one was showing pink but I can't see veins and the 2nd which looked really good the other day is now completely opaque, the light wont penetrate. Can anyone tell me what this means?
If they arent going to hatch, should I move her off her nest?
Also, I feel very bad for her if both these eggs are down and out as she has been such a good sitter, she hasnt moved off her nest. I was thinking of buying a chick for her, would this be okay or would she likely reject it?
Or is it likely she will become broody again?
