Ok ... I was posed the question ... why don't I let the eggs sit and see if a hen goes broody?
My young EE's have started laying eggs in their nest boxes, should I leave them for a few days and see if one decides to collect a clutch to hatch?
If I leave them for a week, and she doesn't go broody, will the older eggs still be edible? What's the limit they can stay in a coop before becoming bad?
And NONE of my brown egg-layers are laying yet at 26 weeks of age.
