So, I had a bantam hen who had been brooding 5 eggs for about 16 days. Some time yesterday or during the night, she left the nest and showed no interest in returning.
When I checked the eggs one was cracked open and one almost looked it had pipped but died. (Neither of them were moving even when I opened more to check and I discarded them.)
When candling the last three, I didn't see any movement, but I did see veining and they filled most of their egg. I put them into the incubator with a few other eggs (which also have a similiar story and are about the same age if not a tiny bit older.)
I'm sorry for not providing photos, but I were in a hurry and I won't be home until tomorrow.
So what do you guys think? Is there any chance they might hatch?
