I set eggs under my broody hen candled on day 19 sand all 5 where alive and well. Its day 22 and nothing. No pips no anything. What do it do? When do I give up?
 
Don't give up now, especially since the broody has invested a lot into this. I would wait at least two days and if the broody has been sitting for 3+ weeks I would try to find her a couple of chicks to foster/raise before I ditched her precious eggs.

Oh yes! When should I get her some? When I know these won't hatch or should I try and get some before then?
