Broody and Hatchlings

[fightnred]

Sorry if this has been asked before. We have broody hen that has sat on a nest and we have 3 live chicks one hatched but didn't make it. It has been over 24 hours since the hatching began. There are still about 10 eggs left. How long does she sit on the others? Will she move when the time is right? What if the 4 that hatched were the only ones that are going to hatch? We want to move her and the chicks, but don't know if the time is right. Please help.

I'd suggest giving the remaining eggs another 48 hours. If you don't have an incubator, there's little you can do if your broody decides to abandon the remaining eggs. The chicks will be fine until the time suggested. You can candle the remaining eggs and compare against the last pics in this link -

We Put chick starter and Chick boost water right next to the nest and the chicks are eating the starter. If we moved everything eggs and all would that risk anything with the eggs that haven't hatched

Your broody would abandon the eggs if you did that - 99% sure
