Did you mark the eggs when they started setting and check for any new additions daily?One has 7 eggs and the other has 15.
Possible.She wouldn’t have eaten the chick....would she??
We only let them lay for 2 days in the box before we closed it up. Nobody can get in our out during laying hours to add anymore. The shell had absolutely NOTHING in it. It was totally white inside.Did you mark the eggs when they started setting and check for any new additions daily?
Possible.
Did the inside of shell have any tint of blood?
There’s no way a raccoon got in my nest box. These doors stay shut 23 hours out of the day and there is fencing stapled to the middle so no other hens can get in to lay more eggs.I heard raccoons eat eggs in that fashion. Hard to believe a hen would let one eat her eggs though..........
Is the whole egg one of the broody's eggs?Found this in nest today. What is going on here? Only the two of them. Still the same number of eggs. Two clearly different egg colors here, one within the other. Clean eggshell. Missing it’s other half.
So the 'nest box' is separated by wire to keep the other layers away from the two brood's?There’s no way a raccoon got in my nest box. These doors stay shut 23 hours out of the day and there is fencing stapled to the middle so no other hens can get in to lay more eggs.
