In the Brooder
I left town for a few days, and when I got back, by broody hen had started brooding in a different nesting box with other non-fertile eggs. Her eggs were left with no heat for a couple days (I'm in Texas but it's been getting into the low 40s at night. They were left alone from about 14 to 17 days. First time I'm trying this, got some fertilized eggs from a neighbor.
Next question. If the eggs aren't viable, and I want to try putting some chicks under her, can I just move her to floor of the coop (instead of nest box where chicks can fall out) and create a nest and brooder for her?
