So, I have a broody hen and she started sitting on eggs on Apr 15th. Unbenounced to me, other chickens were laying in her nest when she got up to eat, etc. So, I have had three chicks hatch and the other eight have done nothing for the past four days or so. Last night I did the float test and all eight seemed to float properly. Three of them were moving! So, I put the eggs back in the nest and she was still sitting on them this morning when I went to work, but when husband went to work, she was not. Should I give her a break and try and put them in an incubator? I just picked up a Brower and havent even used it yet. I dont know the exact age of these eggs. If I were to put them in the bator, what humidity do I use, etc. Thanks in advance!
