Broody hen question

[Flat Earth]

it could stress her out? if you remove the eggs, i know this sounds crazy? You could try to get her to eat some tuna from a can? Or boiled egg? How long she not been eating?

This hen is still sitting on the eggs and I have looked at them with a flashlight and they don’t look as if they have aged any further since last post but I’m no expert on this but I did try to smell them to see if they smelled rotten and they don’t so are they still alive? This is just crazy....

If you can get your husband to snap a picture of the egg while you're candling it, I bet the hatching experts on here will be able to help you more. This is exciting!

Do you still see red veins in the eggs? Any movement in the eggs themselves? Any bright or dark solid rings?

I don’t really see movement. I do see a ring at the bottom as if the chick is filled out and ready to hatch but no chirping or pecking noises like the chicks I have hatched out before. This has just been a bizarre set of eggs for me. It is going on close to 29 days or more. I will get my husband out there in the morning first thing and get pics to post.
