Removing Bad Eggs

[CoalLucker]

One of my broods was sitting on 7 eggs and only one ended up hatching out. Should I remove the other eggs or what would be better?

candle them to see if any are alive....

how long ago did she abandon eggs?

I thought on one of your other multiple threads you said 9 eggs originally, and some may still be alive?

If its actually just day 22, maybe the hen spent a little more time off the nest and they could still be ok. Candling them with a good bright light should be able to help you determine what to do.

It was 9 but I determined 2 for sure were bad.

Be very careful when you remove them, they sometimes explode
