    Mixing 1 day olds with 2 week olds

Once she is fully committed and sitting, move her and her eggs to a separate cage to avoid squabbles. You might...

    Broody hen left her eggs

    I suggest moving her to her own pen, so she doesn't have the option to sit on other eggs. between day 1 and 7 (I think) the eggs will be fine for 18 hours.
