completly my bad for leaving the door open and not shuting it behind me. does anyone think that if i put other eggs under her and let her hatch new egg if it would be to stressful on her or do you think she will do fine?? i dont want to discurrage my broody chickens for thats the only way i get baby chicks.

Hi! My Cochins (and some other girls) stay broody for most of spring and summer --- much longer than it would take to hatch a single clutch of eggs. I take the chicks as soon as they hatch and add new eggs every week. My broody-girls will walk off the nest when they've had enough.

*I* would give her new eggs. Just make sure she's getting off the nest and getting plenty to eat and drink.
Good luck!
