I'll start from the beginning. I got some chicks as an Easter gift. I raised them they did great until about two weeks ago when the dog got out and massacred 3 of the neighbors chickens, my ducks and all of my flock but 2 hens. I assumed one of my hens was dead and that I just never found her body but a few days later I found her towards the woods in high grass sitting on 14 eggs! My other hen has joined the neighbors flock ( I think her rooster rounded her up ) I didnt want to disturb the nest so I let it be.. And yesterday 6 of the 14 eggs hatched. So my questions are :
Should I move the chicks, eggs and mama in the coop now or wait for the rest to hatch?
How long should I give the remaining eggs to hatch before I discard them?
Should I try to reclaim my Hen who has moved next door ?
Will she rejoin my flock or will she just keep going next door?
