On what day of incubation did you candle? It looks a little early. Not much going on.

You don't understand this has been by far the worst broody game hen ever. She starts with 8 eggs and eats two of them on the second week having food & water. Then decide a day before the eggs are due to eat another one and I had to throw away a developed chick ( very devastating ) so now with 5 eggs left we will see what happens I hear alot of peeping but I don't even want to touch the hen.

Aw, that must be so frustrating! Yeah, I wouldn't go near her either..... Will keep my fingers crossed for you all. Remember that we'd love to see photos! Keep us in the loop!

Okay, I have the videos uploaded. Wanna see!!!!!

There are 5 videos. I don't have any software on this computer to splice them together. Sorry. I do recommend that you watch all 5. They show a chick hatching right next to momma.

The hen you hear making all sorts of noise in the background is my RIR Cinnamon. She is a vocal gal. She did eventually lay her egg and stop making all that noise. The kids didn't stop making noise, but our hens are used to the kids.

Notice how she isn't a pancake anymore. She is kind of lifted up to give more room under her now.

This one is a little blurry, but shows some momma hen behaviors.
