You have 26 eggs under your hen?!?!
What breed is she?
Big hens can sit on 12-15 max.

My best guess is 12-15 eggs depending on the size. So you would probably need about 3 hens.

I think the OP was saying they had a total of 26 and was wondering how many to put under their hen.

There are 17
There are a set of 3s in 2 boxes and 3 in a window well. They're black sumatras and I have 7 hens.

Sumatra, it's in the title.


I believe 10 max, since she's a medium sized fowl.
