Day 21... no chicks yet...

[boilerjoe_96]

Hanna, our Barred Rock hen went broody on 11/26. 3 weeks later(today) she is still there but I haven't found chicks yet

Do I give it another day or two?

She kicked a couple eggs out laong the way and each contained a developing chick. The latest ones had a formed chick but really small.

Sneak in to candle? Or would that be pointless at this point?

Can I feel movement? Should I listen to them?

Any advice is appreciated....

I'd give her 3-4 more days...it won't hurt and there may be some late babies in there...I wouldn't bother trying to candle, etc - they either will hatch or they wont' and there really isn't much you can do at this point but wait it out.

I'm feeling for ya - i've got my bators at the start of day 21 and not a pip yet...
