Hello! I have my first ebay eggs ( Tolbunt Polish) under a broody hen and tomorrow is Day 21. I have read on the threads that is WRONG to candle eggs this late in the game. What about being under a broody hen? Can I candle them?
Also I would like to move her and the eggs prior to hatch ( if they hatch..) to a crate to be away from the other hens ( stay in coop, small dog crate) Will moving her now screw everything up? I`m worried she could snap out of her spell if I upaset the apple cart.
So far she`s been great, just gets `x a day and nervously poops eats, drinks all the while chattering and glancing up at her nest.
Thank you in Advance,
Karen
