Yep on days 7 & 14 & 21! And if they havent hatched by day 28 I candle again to see if they internally pipped!

I only check a few at a time so like three now and three later but one at a time to keep the temp up!

I have never had more then 12 eggs going so i would check half in the morning and half at night but yes one at a time to keep the temp more accurate!

Yes, you should give a Broody Mom her own space and you click on over to the Broody Duck Thread, that's where you'll find lots of help from people with Broody Ducks!
