Hi everyone not happy went and checked on the 2 broodys who were sitting on eggs. The blue/silver was sitting on 7 eggs now theres only 6 the white hen was sitting on 8 eggs now only has 2 eggs, I found 2 eggs out in the run stone cold. The blue/silvers egg no where to be found. Nothing got in and eatten the eggs i found a bit of shell in the white hens nest nothing in the other nest. But all eggs were coated in egg yolk. So tommorrow i'm going to have to clean the coop and nest box and try and break these 2 broodys. I just hope them eatting the eggs hasn't distroyed them for good. The blue/silver hens eggs were fertile too. Would moving the nest boxs out in the run work eg in the cold, or do i need to do the cage. Just that the only coop big enough for the cage i have is the standards coop and could 2 hens go in together or do they need there own cage. Being silkies would dipping them in water work?
