Here's The Story Morning Glory

Well, we had two hens go broody. They have been sitting for a very long time, on a lot more eggs then fit under their little butts. Under one chicken the count was 16. They share their eggs with each other, switching net boxes and sometimes trying to sit on the same eggs at the same time. Back when we were away at our biannual family bike ride the eggs were collected and put in the frig. Nobody has eaten many eggs at our house for fear of what they may find. This little accident did not discourage the chickens. They simply started over with new eggs. We thought that they would have given up long ago because a egg takes 21 days to hatch, and they have been sitting for maybe twice that long. We did not expected any of the eggs to hatch. And it has only been 17 days since they started over. But yesterday when mom went out to the coop she found this:
His egg must have been hiding. The mother hen is very happy and the other hen is still sitting. We are going to move her into her own cage and see if she'll sit long enough for her eggs to hatch.
