my spoiled chickens
Songster
One of my silkie hens went broody sat on the eggs for 19 days then gave up they were out in 18 degrees(farenheit) for about 45minutes I put them in the incubator I can see through one egg because it has a thinner shell and I saw some definite development but the rest have thicker shells so I cant see through them during candling I want to know if they might have survived but its the 23rd day and I don't know how much longer they could hatch I've had chicks hatch on the 25th and 26th day but idk how much longer I should give them btw the hen has done this before but I was out and didn't know but when I cracked them open only one had semi developed out of four eggs so I thought she didn't feel any movement but she did it again so I think shes gotten into a habit so shes officially been blacklisted from setting.
