We have an inside chicken that was hurt this past winter. She went broody about 3 weeks ago. I pulled eggs from other hen's for her to hatch. We were down to 3 and our puppy got 1 and smashed it. It was days from hatching. I was devastated. ( still am) I handled the 2 remaining. They don't seem viable however this is my first time. Is it safe to let her sit on new eggs now or she I break her and try again when she goes broody again. I don't want her to abandon new ones thinking they are not going to hatch but I also don't want her getting sick and weak from being broody for so long? Any advice is appreciated
