Setting Hen

[sower56]

Can someone tell me , My hen has been setting for 19 days on 2 eggs, If I put some more fertile eggs under her will she continue to set even when the first two hatch?

 

[fried green eggs]

She may leave eggs to take care of new chicks. You could possible hold new eggs for up to 7 days if you keep them in a cool location 50-65 degs and rotate them a couple times a day. Then if you remove chicks to a brooder, you could see if she will set on more eggs for you.
