Hi Everyone,
I have a chicken who has been sitting on eggs for about 22 days. Unfortunately, we had a terrible rain storm and the eggs ended up getting wet all night long. I dried them off the next morning and replaced their wet bedding with fresh bedding. At 22 days, there are no air holes, and I believe at least one of the eggs smells rotten. However, my broody chicken was still patiently awaiting the arrival of her babies until she abandoned the nest today and went to sit upon another clutch of fertilized eggs. Can she make it another 21 days? Or should I try to break her broodiness?
