Good call Kel! Foster it out if you can! Might be fertile if that was the case!They should be back down in two weeks or less if not!

If it was me, I would toss them eggs. Then again that is just me.
I recently took a photo of a great producing hen. She is mated to one of my favorite cock birds. Took this photo 3 days prior to her laying. All eggy hens will have this look. Well at least the ones over here.
It is a must to check the Hens in the kit box every month just to see if they are eggy or not. Not a big fan of blowing out their egg sack. You can usually feel the egg if you run your hands thru that area.
