My Craiglist hens and gander are all supposed to be only a year old so I assume any eggs are infertile. However Ethel has not gotten off the nest long enough for me to attempt to candle to confirm viability. I can scoop poop right next to her and she'll give me the stink-eye and maybe hiss at the shovel so this may involve actually picking her up and moving her. Is it worth it? Egg-sitting is past the two week point -- would they have exploded by now if they are bad? Do I shoo, or do I leave her to do as nature intended?
