hen switched nests will eggs be ok?

[henmentalmum]

Broody hen which I took on with her eggs.. today switched nests when I checked and saw this had happened her eggs felt stone cold.... is it likely they have all died? I don't know how long she was into sitting as the lady I got her off didn't know. but maybe only hada week or less left :-(

I had a hen switch nests twice and two chicks hatched out later. Don't give up on them! But do either put your broody in a hutch by herself with food and water and a nest with her eggs - OR - put her in a cage or dog carrier with food, water, and her nest of eggs, since I thought she would only do it once and she did it again!!! I even moved the other nests away so she wouldn't get confused and she switched anyway.
