My broody hen became sick .What to do about the eggs?

[Akbar khakwani]

I have a peahen who laid 15 eggs but was not going broody . I purchased 2 broody hens and put eggs under each . Under one the eggs hatched . But the other hen became sick shortly after 5 days . She is not eating and could not stand up .She has green diarrhea which is also all over the eggs . Luckily my peahen has also turned broody . And I wanted to know if I can transfer the eggs from the hen to the peahen even if they were 5 days under a hen .And can the eggs with poop on them hatch. ?

the ones with poop prob will get sick and die before hatching.....

I don't see any other choice but to transfer the eggs. If you had a couple of days you could put some eggs in with the peahen to make sure she is started and heated up. One mistake that people make when using chickens over pea eggs is feeding them regular chicken mash. We only feed scratch so they do not crap all over the eggs.
