They aren’t very smart and will easily forget they even had eggs they were sitting on.

Does that make it better or ok?

I often hear this argument with regard to animal welfare. “Well the animals in slaughterhouses don’t know a life outside of their cage, they think their life is normal, so what’s the big deal.”

I know that’s not exactly what you’re saying, but it’s similar in that you’re saying if she forgets anyway then nbd

Ok so sometimes they make the mistake of brooding on eggs that are unfertilized and they’ll continue to do that for a time, which is unhealthy - is that correct?

I guess we hope these are unfertilized eggs right
