Broody Hen

[Hoonta]

So I have a broody hen but I have noticed the pile she is laying on is a couple of days old that were sitting outside cause no one was home to collect them do you think the eggs are still good to hatch or do you think they are bad and won't hatch in the future? she's only been laying on them for about 3 to 4 days.

I would candle them. They may still be good.

I would candle them. They may still be good.

What would tell me it is still good when I candle them?
