Question

[swing123706]

So I have a banty cochin just that just went broody. I also set some eggs into the incubator yesterday. My question is can I move some eggs from the incubator to her? Would it hurt the egg?

It shouldn't hurt the eggs any. I've moved them both directions, hen to inc, and inc to hen without problems. If your hen just went broody in the last day or so, you might consider giving her a fake egg or two for a few days before giving her the inc eggs to be sure she sticks.

I have given her woodeneggs and she kicked them out. Apparently she doesn't like them:/

Try sneaking them under her at night so she has time to get used to them before morning
