I'm very nervous to go out their and candle but still haven't. No signs of hatchment still

How's it going? I'm in a similar situation except I got some fertile eggs on line to put under my 3 broody b antams. I'm on day 22 today and if still nothing in 2 days im going to try the floating method. It's my first time, so really anxious. Last time I got some day old chicks and popped them under my broody. I wish I'd done the same this time!

Don't do this floating method.
Seriously how many people have to advise against this before people get some sense?

Wow! Really shocked by the backlash to water candling!! Okay consider this notification that the comment is retracted, I'd delete it if I could but it won't let me!

That is awesome, well done broody mumma. It's so exciting when they hatch, I could sit and watch them for hours.

Was it just the 4 eggs in the end under your hen?

 

[KKVDK]

Yeah we started with 6 though.

Congrats on the hatch! Back in August, I had 14 eggs set under a broody, on day 21, one egg pipped, unzipped, and hatched. That was it? No. Four days later, on day 25 two more hatched, by that point the broody had had enough. She left the last six eggs hatching in the nest. Because I have no incubator, I bought the eggs inside, and put a hot water bottle under the nest material. Four of the six eggs hatched(they are now my 6 year old sister's chickens, Pickle,Olive(the most friendly, wonderful little EE),Shark and Midnight)
