hen on a nest

[ajbett1204]

I have a hen and she's been sitting on eggs for awhile now. It hasn't been time for them to hatch. The last few days she has been walking around most of the day and it's within a week of her eggs hatching. She sits on them at night and I can tell they were forming but I don't know if her clutch will hatch now. The days have been in the 70s about.

Do you have a heat lamp so you can take the eggs and put them under that?

I do have a heat lamp. So I just put them under the heat lamp and away from her?

If she isn't sitting on them enough then yes, I would try putting them under a heat lamp.
