[Animal-lover339]

So i have a hen that eent broody todsy its ten days that shes been broody i wanna ask if theese eggs have anything becasue one looks yellow like nothing in them and the other two are. From my non pure bred hen and i just neef too know im very curious as well as worried

Are those the only two she's sitting on? If so, I'd either find some eggs you know are fertilized or put her in a wire bottomed cage up on blocks for a few days to break her broodiness, because those aren't developing at all. They're either not fertilized or quit extremely early.

She has 13 eggs. 8 of her own 4 of a bantam and 1 of a layer theyre supposed to be i have a rooster and i saw when she was mated with and my layer and my bantam unless the rooster or bantam rooster are infertile they are young but idk thanks for telling me ill probably find some good eggs to put under her and if not well ill break broodiness question though what do you mean by quit extremely early?

what do you mean by quit extremely early?

It means that they died very early in the growing process.

Depends on how much you touched. Did you pick them up and candle them every single day? That could do it.

Did you candle them all or just those two? By this time you should see veins in them and they should look rather dark with the air cell showing up bright on the fat end. If you can get to the nest with her off it you should be able to candle them where they lay without moving them much. If some look bright and clear like the two you posted but others look dark and full, just pull the clear ones out. If they all look like the ones you posted, they're all dead or weren't fertilized in the first place.

They could easily have been infertile from the start, just saying it's possible to kill an embryo with over handling. Can you shoo her off the nest or is she vicious?
