    Day 20 with a broody hen

    Update: Nothing ever happened so I am assuming none made it. Thanks for all the help, everyone.

    Day 20 with a broody hen

    What day do I need to remove the eggs that are past due from the hen? I don't think she's going to give up she's still sitting consistently on them.

    Day 20 with a broody hen

    It's just weird to me I check the eggs throughout the process and I see them developing and then it comes time for hatch and nothing

    Day 20 with a broody hen

    That is all good information to know. Thanks for telling me. The rooster was rehomed so unfortunately even if I wanted to I can’t try to hatch chicks again since the eggs won’t be fertile. In the future if I get another rooster, what are you supposed to feed them?

    Day 20 with a broody hen

    I'm sad. They look to be pretty well developed I just don't see any movement. It's been multiple days after so I guess there is not much hope. This is my second time trying to let my broody hatch and it's failed.

    Day 20 with a broody hen

    She has 12 right now. She started out with 12, I had to remove 2 on the 13th day because they were not developing, and now she is back to 12.

    Day 20 with a broody hen

    Yeah, I'm not very optimistic. I don't know what happened. She sat on those eggs every single day and did not get up often. I candled and saw 2 eggs with movement, however, they are ones that were added by other hens a few days after the initial ones and I don't know what day they are on.

    Day 20 with a broody hen

    Nothing has appeared to change. I checked on her a couple hours ago and she got up for a moment to eat so I was able to see the eggs and they just look like normal.

    Day 20 with a broody hen

    My little bantam hen has been faithfully sitting on her collection of eggs from herself and the other hens for now 20 days. I come check on her a few times a day and give her food and water. When she got off her eggs for a quick break earlier, I did not notice anything new about them. They look...

    Day 5 of mother hen sitting

    Hello. My little bantam cochin has gone broody for the second time in her life and this time I am letting her sit on the eggs. She sits on them all day long except for her couple of breaks a day to go potty and eat. Do I need to be candling the eggs? I tried candling one today and it just looked...
