We had an invader in the coop last night and my broody hen left her eggs, not sure for how long. How long is it safe for them to leave their incubatees? I candled one this morning and I saw movement. They are at day 11. Thanks for your help. Yes, I will handle the intruder issue a (mouse or rat - I saw the droppings in her nesting box... I know she left the box for the first time because I saw the infamous "broody poo" - scary!)
