We have a small bantam hen, and I went out to clean the barn today and found 6 eggs! They are huge in comparison to her size (to me.) I also have 2 standard roosters (they all get along fine, oddly enough, but we are definately in the market for some more hens and should be getting them within the week.)
The mom is not on the eggs, and they are in a nest in a pile of baled straw (open bale, spread around.. had to open a different one for horse bedding as I did not want to disturb them!) What should I do? It is pretty cold (in the 40s tonight but the temps should plunge overnight.) Should I just write them off, attempt to open/eat them, or try to incubate them? I have a hovabator.. any advice?
