Under my brooding J. Giant was a broken egg & ALL of her eggs were poopy & sticky from the egg. Took them out & figured I'd just toss 'em & start over. Then when I collected today's bounty, she was on the nest that my L. Brahma has been sitting on for a week & dirtied those!!!!
The first ones are gone, so the J. Giant doesn't have any to sit on. The Giant gave me problems before, as well, pooping in her nest & breaking an egg, then just leaving the nest before hatching time. Guess they aren't good brooders.
So I need to know: Do I toss these as well, or can I just take a damp cloth to clean them off & put them back under the L. Brahma? Since she's been on her nest for a week, I need to get them back under her soon if they can be salvaged.
