Broody Hen Day 20.....Eggs Rocking

[Cayden05]

At least 12 hours........................always takes longer than I expect. Patience is virtue!

Ok thanks! Better work on my patience. I’m so anxious and nervous.

That's normal................I have to take breaks from hatching eggs bc it's too much stress on me Broody hens know what they are doing and are way better at hatching eggs thatn incubators so I wouldn't worry. My broody needed 0 help from me (I couldn't find her either time she brooded) and there were no issues. She hatched 20 chicks in total.

All 6 eggs are pipped and I can hear tapping on one of them. So hopefully we have chicks soon!! Do you know if I should hear peeping because I don't. Only tapping from one of them.

I only hear peeping sometimes, it depends. I wouldn't worry
