kicking egg's out

[markjak]

My broody has only had her fertile eggs 3 days and has moved her nest a foot and left one egg behind which has gone cold obviously this egg is now no good but why has she left one behind at this stage

Has she ever set eggs before? If she's new to the game, then maybe thats why.

One never knows. Is she a first time setter?
The egg isn't necessarily bad. Going completely cold the first week doesn't mean it's a goner. Try putting it back under her or in an incubator.
The info ton that is in this link.
