BUDGIES: My hen is sitting, on 5 eggs and my c**k has just died suddenly. will the hen raise on her own?

Question

the eggs are fertile, so should i leave her to it? or will the eggs become cold if she leaves the nest too often to feed? and once they hatch will she be able to feed all the chicks on her own? or should i remove the eggs now? she has been sitting for 10 days

Answer 1

Just leave the hen, she'll take care of the eggs. When they hatch, it's really up to the hen to teach them about picking up foods, and survival.
