I have a huge white rooster and two red hens. My two hens lay approximately 10 eggs a week, and they are fertile. My question is this. If I decide to encourage the hens to incubate their eggs, do I leave the eggs in the roosts and let them collect? I was under the impression that they would just stay over one egg if they were going to start to brood, and then lay more. Do the hens lay an egg a day and leave the nest until several collect, and then begin to incubate them..How does this work? I am fairly new at having chickens.
