I have 1 banny rooster & 3 banny hens. The hens started sitting about 3 weeks ago. How long should I wait before discarding the eggs? None have hatched so far.

Does the hen get off the nest? I'd candle them to see if they've developed before making any decision.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I also would candle them. Did you look for fertility on the yolk before allowing her to set?

Welcome to BYC!
Are your hens consistently sitting on the eggs? (Other than getting off occasionally to eat, drink, poop, & dust bathe)
Are all your hens broody? If one or more or not, did you mark the eggs?

Welcome to BYC. As others have suggested, candle the eggs, and if developing - wait patiently.
