my dads hen actually just started laying eggs again! i would like to try and hatch some of them myself so i'm the first thing they see lol. i've researched a lot on incubating but was wondering if i can leave the hen on them to get them started and then move them to an incubator. so when should i move the eggs to an incubator for the best results? sorry for all the questions but i figure you'll know the answers if your hatching some lol

I didnt start hatching them. My girl Trudy did and then my dog murdered her.

So i moved them to the bator ASAP. They are growing and i can see it because i have been candeling! If i were you and she went broody i would let her incubate them all the way and the day they start to hatch then go check and see if any have, then periodically check throughout the day and when ever one hatches fight off momma duck and take it. But leave her 1 or 2 so that she didnt just sit on them for nothing.
