What?? The rest of the flock don't find her completely adorable and don't let her peck all over them??!

lol!

I feel the same way, they are together when supervised, I am going to be out of town for a week so they are not going to be together until I get back, I just don't trust her enough to behave herself!

I have a hen sitting on eggs.. She broke one and now she has sticky yolk all over her and the other eggs! How do I clean them so they don't stink

Welcome to BYC and the thread!

this is pretty common for my hens..... and the hen I use dawn blue dish detergent, just wash her bottom dont get her all wet. rinse her good , use warm water not cold.... and do you have a backup plan in case she stops setting? Always mark eggs at first set of hen, then check daily for new eggs and remove them, candle days 7-14-18 and pull any dead or stinky


WASHING EGGS~~~~~~~~~~~

Hatching Eggs 101

Choose eggs that are of good size, not abnormally big or small. Do NOT set dirty, cracked, or porous eggs.
Clinical studies at the University of Arkansas have shown that if your going to set a dirty egg, set the dirty egg, DO NOT SAND, WASH OR WIPE dirty eggs as hatchability decreases with these practices!
Cuticula is the thin membrane that covers the whole eggshell that is made from the sticky fluid when laid which covers it and quickly dissolves due to carbondioxyde activity.
This membrane can be penetrated by gasses but functions as a kind defensive mechanism to prevent the entry of bacteria.

The washing and rubbing action also serves to force disease organisms through the pores of the shell. Place the eggs upright in an egg carton with the FAT, air cell end of the egg UP! Allow eggs to sit in a moderately cool, somewhat humid place for storage. Basements are great. Moderately cool means 55-65 degrees. Rotate your eggs a 3 times a day to keep the embryo from sticking. An easy way to turn all of the eggs at once is to place a thick book under one end of the carton, and later remove the book and put it under the other end of the carton, 3 times a day. Before adding eggs to the incubator always WARM eggs UP slowly to room temperature. IF THE EGGS ARE COLD Condensation can cause bacterial growth on the eggs! You can collect eggs up until 10 days or so, but after the 7th day lower hatch rates may result.
Stored eggs take longer to hatch (about one hour per day of storage).

It is important to ALWAYS wash your hands before handling your hatching eggs!

Omphalitis, yolk sack infection is caused by a bacterium that enters through the porous egg shell and easily kills embryo's and newly hatched chicks. Unfortunately, incubation conditions are ideal for breeding bacteria as well as incubating eggs. For more information on storing eggs refer to Recommendations for hatching egg handling and storage​
