You have that wright!!!! A Bomb could have gone off and my hen would not have moved.I will know better next time and put more eggs under her. I have a Silky now that is sitting on 12 eggs and all the other silkies are laying th eir eggs on top of her, she leaves the nest once a day and another silkie sits on the eggs until she comes back and then they both sit there for a time. :idunno I know one way or an other the eggs will hatch. Who will be mothering them is anybodies guess. Time will tell.

Chickens are funny...strange funny :confused:
