broody hen hatching! day 21 with 1 hatched 1 not pipped!!!

She is Plymouth Rock because Maran's lay dark brown eggs

So she is actually a Maran but I searched up eggs from Maran's and it actually came up as a chart of different ones and white ones were on there. (I can't take a picture because it isn't letting me attach files)


So let's talk about the egg of the chick, because I think you can help?
My hen has been off the nest with her chick and I think abandoned her eggs, but I've been keeping them on their hoping it will hatch. I still can't hear any chirping or see any pips or sign of movement. It's the end of day 22 and I don't think it will hatch but I'm hoping the best for it.

Have you tapped on the egg and whistled to it

No I haven't. It's currently day 23, but my broody is still sitting on the egg. Should I candle the egg?

I can't find it
Anyway, the egg smells rotten, and I've candled it and no movement. I think it has died before hatching. I'm cracking it open, but slowly to make sure nothing will be hurt if it's alive.

Also It doesn't look like a chick inside. looks like maybe not even half a one.

I have just gone down and opened the egg very gently, and it look like it was a couple days old and then it just went, "nope, can't do this anymore." It was a rotten wolf with an bit of growth.

Got anymore eggs at all under her

No, She has abandoned her other eggs that were not even fertile as we do not have a rooster.

Give it a couple more days, and then see what happens. Were all your eggs set on same day,,, so no eggs were set later?? What I'm getting at... Maybe the unhatched egg is only on day 18 or different.

WSHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and
