21 days ago my Buff went brood on 4 eggs. 7 days later she decided to add 7 more eggs to her nest. 1/2 way thru the incubation of the first 4 eggs she decided to abandon all those eggs and move to 5 new ones in a new nest box. She had already broken one of the old eggs. So, I moved the remaining 10 eggs into the incubator. 1 hatched today. 2 more should hatch tonight or tomorrow if they are going to. the other 7 are scheduled to hatch next week. No I haven't candled any of them. I have trouble candling brown and green eggs.
If the other 2 eggs don't hatch, will this lone baby be ok until the other 7 hatch next week? I've been holding and snuggling with her this evening but don't want to tire her out. Will she get lonely and die from lonliness?
Thank you for your advice.
