If use have read my thread called wait OVER!!!egg finally hatched

Then you will know the full story
But basically I had 4 fertile eggs mixed of society’s and zeb. Which my zeb adopted as my society female died
But the male pired up with a new female so I gave two eggs back not sure weather there his or the zebs . I did this because it’s the zebs first clutch

Anyway an egg from the zeb nest has hatched yesterday and an egg from the society’s nest has hatched today
However when u looked in the society’s nest to see the baby I’ve seen 5 extra eggs meaning that the new society female has laid

What should I do because these two chicks will still be in the nest by the time the new eggs hatch

Societies should have no problem with you going in the nest. With a little penlight candle the eggs. Throw away the newly hatched eggs and leave in only those that are due to hatch in a few days.

Leave in 3-4 dummy eggs so the hens dont lay anymore in that nest.

Or the 2 week old chicks will stomp out the chicks that hatch later.
