Today I went out to check my broody and I heard peeping, I got so excited thinking atlast the baby chicks hatched I lifted her up, to check if any chicks were born there wasent any so I'm guessing the peeping is coming from inside the egg! I put her back down thinking I'll harm the baby chicks as there about to hatch or in the process of hatching.. today is the 20th day for the eggs should I expect some chicks tomarrow or late at night? Also, me picking up the hen does that harm the baby chicks in the eggs at all? Thanks
 
Hello :frow and Welcome To BYC! Sounds like you should have chicks in the next day or so, good luck with them! I would not pick up the hen / disturb her at this time if you can avoid it, she is keeping the temperature and humidity where it should be hopefully so the chicks can hatch.
 
Alright
