Well, most of my silkie girls are either laying or broody and I wasn't getting any eggs out of them for three weeks. I've been working so my parents didn't bother to check the silkie pen for eggs. Lo and behold in just one nest box is about 15 eggs and probably 10-15 in the other boxes! I have no clue how long they've been set for and my broodies can't cover all the eggs. Last night it snowed on top the mountain so I dont want to be raising MORE chicks inside because I already have seven in the house and nine in the garage.
So what should I do? Just toss the eggs?? I think that's what I'm going to do, but I just hate to see a developing chick die. (Also has the potential of SQ)
