Hi. I have a 1 year old ISABrown thats gone broody since March 11th. She's been sitting on her clutch of about 6 eggs faithfully every day since. I purchased 6 fertile eggs from MBYC 💕 with the plan to switch out some of what she is sitting with all the purchased and marked eggs. My question is will she continue to sit past 21 days or until she gets a hatched chick or will she lose interest after 21-22 days if there is no chicks hatched i havent received the eggs yet and not sure when they will arrive. It was supposed to ship the week of 3/15. P.S. we do not have a rooster. So if we get a chick before fertile eggs arrive i will name the baby Jesus. 🤣🤣
