Serious Gal but has poop on her egg
I have a question. My broodie is a serious gal. She is so serious she even s in her box. DISGUSTING! So I take her out every day and scoop her . Each time gagging is in order. So nasty! How can a broody have such a big ? Anyways .. One of the eggs that are due, now actually, has on it. I'm worried about bacteria for the newly hatched. Can I clean the egg?

LOL if the eggs are due just totally leave her and the eggs alone. might be why she crapped in the nest? they wont get off the nest at all for a few days before, during and after the hatch to make sure they are all hatched. just zombified, at least in my limited experience.

Try to leave her be if you can, Sandy. I'm sure she will do an admirable job.You'll be hearing peeps soon enough ... Probably you'll wake to new chicks.
When Gracie incubated her first batch of eggs here, I didn't hear anything the night before they hatched, and the next morning there were three little chicks.

I don't hear anything and I don't see anything. I'm trying to be good!! No fingers under her belly having a feel.
Good thing is Sheltie arrives this morning so I'll be preoccupied for a while.
So I'm curious. How does the chick not suffocate trying to get out of her shell with mom on top of her? Does she push them out from under her once she starts to hatch?
