Toddlers are Quackers

so we are at 22 days sence Big Mama started her droody journey and not even a crack in her eggs :( What should I do??? give her more time or pull the eggs and try new ones? Oh and how often can a "broody" get up off her eggs per day? my lady out in the barn has two eggs and she is up about 4 times a day and she is all ruffled and chases the other chickens lol but if she is getting up to much I should pull her eggs right?

HELP MEEEEE please
 
The broody might just be taking longer to get the eggs hatched. Despite what some people say, 21 days is not exact.
A broody can get up as many times as she sees fit. It can be once a day for 45 minutes, or several times a day for 15. Or, she can decide not to get up at all! Personally, I would do my best to let the hens decide what is best.

ok well then I will leave the lady out in the barn be, even though she mysteriously has another egg (legit this time I have no clue where the second one came from)

how long can I let Big Mama sit on the eggs without risking a huge stinky mess?
 


Look what my toddler did to the baby. He threw a car across the bed and it hit her in the face. I think he was TRYING to give it to her.... she didn't even cry... but it apparently dented her nose.
