Day 18 for my broody, any tips??

[Delta3013]

This is my first batch of eggs, and my hen has been broody for 18 days, I need tips or pointers on what to do. She has been working hard and I just want it to pay off.

Just have faith in her, and don't be surprised if they take a day or two longer to hatch than 21 days, it's normal! Good luck!

Mine just hatched, my girls did a great job, even with me peaking under them. And are good mothers. Really I know how you feel, from day 18 to day 22 was a LONG time.

However, it is fun now, they are so cute! And their mommas take such good care of them!
