Hen is 11months old, this is her first time to hatch out. Hubby & I are anxiously watching & listening for "peep" NO, not even a pipping happening, just some mighty warm eggs under my hen. She allowed my examination of her eggs! So cute, watching her place each one under her as I returned them. She is so serious about this !
 
May just take an extra day or 2 if its been cooler outside! even with a broody hen or even in a bator the weather can delay a hatch. I've had eggs take 25 days before and the only difference was a storm came through on day 18! Temp and humidity never changed but for some reason this set took longer than normal. I think it has something to do with the barometric pressure. but its just my guess. BUT the more I read on here ther does seem to be a pattern of eggs being delayed after a storm if its aroung lock down time.

God Luck and God Bless!
