Hen is "Stacking" her eggs....should I remove some?

[Bleenie]

So Kahlua has been stacking 1 on top of the others since she started nesting, should I take it away?

I don't want her to accidentally kill the other embryos because one isnt getting warm enough. everytime she moves the eggs it's a different egg on top so is there a chance she could kill them all because of 1 too many eggs in the nest?

I think I would take the newer ones away, Bleenie. I don't know if the ones underneath would get the warmth from her body adequately enough.

That's what I was thinking, I would hate for her to slowly ruin the whole hatch because of 1 extra egg.

Mine always stacks them, moves them, rearranges them, stacks them again.. You name it. She seems to know what she's doing, though. She has a decent hatch rate. We used to be super concerned about every little detail but it was stressful and since we decided to let nature do it's thing and not worry about her, she does just fine.
If you're worried, though. It won't hurt anything to remove a few.

I went out and took away just 1 egg. She seems to be covering the others just fine. I moved it to under a different hen so i will just have to get it when her eggs hatch out.

Thanks everyone
