Hey, they were Silkies. It's what they do!



Okay, I broke down and pulled five eggs from the broody and left her with an even twenty. She has no trouble covering that many. Now if I can just keep the other hens from laying in there.....

Mark the eggs with a pencil or Sharpie. If you use a pencil, make the marks wide and dark, or they may rub off. Check every day, and remove the unmarked eggs. Within a week, it'll be easier to tell which are which, because the new eggs will have a matte finish. Eggs that the hen has been incubating will get polished by her feathers, and become rather glossy.
