So I've had 12 hatch so far. The other 9 eggs are showing no signs of doing anything. Has anyone had anything happen at this point in incubation? Should I give up on these eggs?

I've seen people suggest to give them 3-5 days more. I'm so new at this myself I really don't know what to tell you. I have 5 left of the 10 I started with.

Ok well maybe I'll see how they are doing in the morning

Two little Bantams set on a total of 16 eggs. We have 14 and they came out the nest box today and learned the art of scratching for bugs. They are so cute. I cleaned out the nesting box while they were busy at the other end of the cage. The box was a bit stinky and found two eggs that were rolled to the corner and covered. Tonight Both hens are sleeping on the ground with their peeps. I covered them carefully and hope that they will be warm enough.

Both little mothers are sharing nurturing duties and there does not seem to be any problems.
I wonder why humans are not the same.

Here is a picture of the two hens and the peeps.
