can i play chick sounds to help my chick hatch

[sophie_22]

I have a hen sitting on eggs and i was wondering if it would be ok to play chick sounds to encourage the chicks to hatch because its day 23 and the chick isnt trying to hatch but its alive . will the hen be bothered by the chick sounds

My only concern would be that the mother hen might think there is a lost chick somewhere, and leave the nest to try and find it.
How many eggs is she sitting on, and have any hatched yet?

I’ve done this for eggs in incubator. I don’t see a good reason to do it for this situation with a mother hen.

hen sounds would probably work better .. its more suitable for an incubator me thinks ..
