Well, I went in and checked on her #3 right away when we got back from church,,, she crushed it,,, and it was a very rotten egg.
I read that a hen will kick bad eggs out of the nest, they can feel the heart beat and thats about the time they start talking to the eggs, about 10 days after the first day of setting on them,, 🤔:caf
