I do have a question on hatch rate of pullet eggs and what a normal clutch size would be. We had two hens go broody while we were out of town for a few weeks and I found them when we came home. One is sitting a nest of 16 and the other 22! That seemed like a lot of eggs! I was mostly pleased to see this as I was planning on letting nature take it's course (we have a lot of land and lots of people who want eggs and I have no desire to incubate eggs when I can have a hen do the work for me), but it seemed awfully early to me especially since I hadn't even gotten even one egg out of one of the hens before we left!
The funny and sad note of that is the house sitter didn't even notice them missing at roosting time (the free range during the afternoon and I coop them at night
