Hi!! My barred rock hen went broody OCT 5th so we moved her to a little brooder coop so she could be alone, on week 1 we candled them they were all fertile , and had good air cells and veins, one we saw a heart beat!!!!
Then on OCT 25 (day21) she hatched 4 little chicks then the next day (OCT26(day 22)
She totally forgot about the rest of the eggs and stopped sitting on them for an hour ( and it's like 55 degrees out so we brought the 6 eggs in the house In my room on top of a heating pad, with a heat lamp, and a piece of damp tissue.
We have a thermometer keeping it at 99-101 and now it's day23 and they're not hatching yet!!!
Please help!!!
