Day 21 No Chicks Yet

[Kenzi Green Design]

It’s day 21 and no sign of chicks, how long should I wait before it’s determined the hatch is unsuccessful?

My hen is sitting on them and has been doing so since day 1 only getting up rarely to eat/drink.

What date did she start sitting on the eggs? Had you candled them before to make sure they were fertile and developing?

Hello! I would say to wait for another two to three days before taking them off the nest.

January 5th! We have 2 roosters & 4 hens so I’m sure they are fertilized.
