My silky hen layed a clutch of eight. I let her go broody because our young roo seemed to be breeding with her. She has been brooding for approximately 10 days now. I went out and candled all the eggs, not one fertile one in the clutch. small yolk and air pockets in all of them, no veins. I think our young roo just needs more practice. Anywho, I have been thinking about buying some fertilized silkie eggs and replacing her duds. Can you do this? She has already been sitting for approximately 10 days. She has plenty of food and water in her brooding hutch and appears to be eating and drinking. I don't have an incubator,but I do have a broody hen putting a lot of effort into these dud eggs
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!!
