Unexpected Extra Eggs Under My Broody, Will She Hatch Them All?

[SilkieSorcerer]

If she leaves the later eggs behind, you can try putting them under another broody or even a heat lamp if you don't have an incubator. It's tricky but not impossible.

[HenHouseMystic]

Keep an eye on her, but be ready for a split hatch. The first chicks may be ready to move while the last ones are still developing, and she'll have to make a choice!

[CoopConnoisseur]

If she's a dedicated broody, she may try to hatch them all. I had a hen sit an extra three days once, but it's a gamble,some do, some don't.

[DustBathQueen]

If you let nature take its course, expect a staggered hatch where she may abandon the late eggs. If she stays, though, the first chicks will need food and water before she's done.
