hi,
I put 9 eggs under the first time broody. 1 was taken away, probably by a rat. I found 1 broken in the nest and when I checked others 4 were rotten and I took them away. the remaining 3 are not hatching. when I shake them there is no sound, they seem to be ok. I tried to candle them but my flash is not good enough to see through the egg. how long should I wait for them to hatch?
