Four hens have been sitting on about 10 eggs on average per nest. Last time, a few months ago, they tried the same thing but all the eggs were pretty much bad. So I didn't think I'd get an army of little chicks. I have about 10 right now. And the mothers are getting up to feed the other little chicks, but when they do...theres about three little chickens that just came out of the eggs and they need warmth. I have to keep putting the mothers on the little hatchlings, or just move the chicks on a mother that is actually sitting.
There are still a crap load of eggs left....and I've been thinking...how do I get rid of the eggs? I'm just scared there might be little chicks inside that'll die if I bury them in the dirt of something. Please, any help on this? I'm getting too many chicks I can handle.
