How long should you leave the unfertel eggs in the cage
Hi Linda,
You can take the eggs away or let her sit on them. There has never been a formal study, but some owners feel their bird gets it out of her system to sit on the eggs for 2-3 weeks, and other say it makes no difference. Some single hens show no interest in sitting and others will sit for the entire incubation period, and then give up.
Thank you for asking Lafeber,
Brenda
