Re: Question on what to do with eggs.
Posted by Andie on 5/14/06

I would wait a few more days longer to throw them out as you
don't want the hen to smoosh the 1 chick. The eggs are
actually helping to protect him from the mother sitting on
him too tightly. Someone with a bit more experience with
only having one chick hatch might be able to tell you exactly
how long to keep them though.
