Our Hamburg hen was missing for 3 weeks (assumed lost to a fox) but we found her sitting tight in a mower grass collection box. We secured her from predators and we now have 4 healthy chicks that are eating starter and taking water.
They are now 5 days old, and the hen is still sitting tight on 4 of the unhatched eggs having discarded 2.
Will she leave the eggs herself?
I'm a novice and grateful for any help.
PS renamed 'Lord Lucan' cos she dissapeared
