why hasn't my broody hen stopped turning eggs?

[jayke563]

I have a broody hen she is sitting on 10 eggs and today I put a x on the eggs just the way they were and I came back and checked on her and her eggs were turned around why is she still turning them.

I also have another question how does a broody hen keep humidity up when they are stirring on them?

Setting hens are continually turning and rearranging their eggs.

will the eggs still hatch good

As long as they are fertile, the nest is clean and non contaminated there is no reason that they should not hatch.

I candles them on day 24 and all of them were alive and developing with a good sized air cell so I hoping I get some chicks
