HI my broody has hatched 3 chicks between Monday pm and today am and is now brooding them off the nest. There are two eggs left in the nest, can I assume these are duds and throw them away?

Is three out of six a reasonable hatch? I do know that the cockerels are young and this is their first season as it were.

Mum wouldn't have felt any movement so yes you can assume those eggs are duds and just throw them away

I'd have a good listen and candle them first, but if she's been off them for a while then I doubt if any are still alive anyway
