Are these eggs just a loss or is there a chance they will hatch?
I have always had a banty cochin be my broody and this is about a 18 month old Buff Orp. She gathered the eggs all up out of the different nest boxes and has been sitting on them about 5 days so far, but today and yesterday she has been off the nest and out and about, sitting on perches, etc. and then a few hours she will be back on and then a few hours later she would be off. This is not how my Cochin did it. i rarely saw her off, twice a day, max for her...now, i realize that the temps here in NE Oklahoma are horrid right now so that might have something to do it with it.
any tips? do i just toss the eggs and consider this BO not a good setter?
