All he has to do is unpack them and stick them under a broody. We have plenty of broodies to choose from. I swear the cornish hens that I have don't actually lay eggs, they just brood. Same with Elsa, the olandsk dwarf. She laid maybe 10 eggs this spring and will be broody until October.
These are more dwarf eggs that are coming so I figured Elsa would be the right size and weight to brood on them versus the large and heavy cornish, but whatever. Find a broody, honey, lift and shove the eggs under. Then back away.
I hope the legbar hen that is completely psychotic isn't in the nesting boxes when he goes to do it. I was collecting eggs the other day when she shot out of one of the top nesting boxes, squawking and flapping in a panic, right at my face. At least BF is a foot taller than me, but I still don't think he'll take that well.
And, you know, these dwarf eggs will be joined by the RIR that I liberate from Wisher.
