My First Broody!

[Sydnee Fisher]

On day 18 there was no black chick in there so I cracked it open and it just looked like a regular egg and didn’t smell bad at all. I have a trio of polish and one is laying (the other one molted) and my rooster is starting to become active. So the question really is should I give her two of those eggs? I am planning on hatching them anyways in my incubator for my show birds next year but I don’t know if she will peck them and kill them if they hatch... Thank you for any advice...

I think you should hatch the eggs in the incubator because it might be hard on your girl if you make her sit 21 more days. You could probably break her by trying to slip chicks under her when she's unaware. If you do be careful, make sure she doesn't hurt them.
