i wanna be a cowboy, baby ( HELL YEAH )
I guess I’ll just have to watch what she does. It’s her first time hatching, so I have no idea what she’ll do. Though, I have an incubator running and another hen that’s broody, so I have options.Every hen is different so it's hard to say what she will do. Some hens will leave before all chicks finish hatching, it's always a possibility and why I like to have an incubator on standby just in case but many hens will wait a few days for the chicks to hatch.
It should be ok to put the nail polish egg back under her but even with nail polish the shell may be slightly compromised to have the hen on it may complicate things but that depends on how severe the crack was.
If I do put it back under her, should I lay the polish/repaired side down in the bedding or leave it up?
