So I had my broody hen sitting in the coop on the fertile eggs I had bought for her.
The other day, I came home from work and she was actually sitting on the wrong eggs.
She had moved at some point during the day -- off her fertile eggs and onto some of the non-fertiles that her sisters laid.
The fertile eggs by this point were stone cold, so I assume they're all dead (please correct me if that's wrong).
So I ordered ANOTHER set of fertile eggs (since she's still sitting), moved her into her own little broody coop (so she won't get confused) and now I'm starting back at day 1.
Will she sit broody for another 3 weeks?
Or will she assume these eggs are bad and abandon them?
Thanks.
