A few days ago I was taking care of my broody bantam cochin when I noticed one of her eggs was on the floor near the nest. I put the egg back under her and left. The next day I lifted her to candle her eggs and they were all gone! Soon I discovered cracked egg shells under her wings and on the floor.
I figured a racoon might have squeezed through the flimsy old door and stole her eggs. She had been setting for 14 days, and I was wondering if I could buy her some chicks from the feed store this weekend and slip them under her. Do you think she will kill them? Thnx!
