One of my comets went broody and started setting on a clutch. (we thought they had stopped laying!) We waited and waited for her to give up but she didn't! Since yesterday morning 2 eggs have hatched.
The last time I caught her off the nest I counted 19 eggs. I know the others could be laying there too. She is in the coop with 5 other hens, a rooster and a turkey. How long do we wait for the other eggs to hatch? Do we toss the eggs at some point?
When I was checking yesterday the 2 chicks would come out and eat feed but momma wouldn't budge from the nest no matter how hard I coaxed. So I fed her there, again.
