I have a hen that went broody 2-3 weeks ago. 2 other hens I have chased her off the eggs to lay more eggs.
I finally was able to move those hens to a different area. She is sitting on a bunch of different eggs. She got off them for a while and I was able to see what was going on. There were a lot of broken shells no babies, but there were 4 eggs that apparently got off the nest. I took them and broke them open to see if there were baby chicks. Yes 2 were and about ready to hatch, they were peeping and man I feel bad cuz really I killed them, But the question is the eggs in the nest are yucky from the 2 broken ones and the flies are all around. Do I leave it alone or clean the eggs I never had a broody hen. So I dont know what to do.
