Day 21, no pips

[ryanhodapp]

I have eggs under a broody banty. I candled at about day 12 and it was so exciting to see baby chicks inside.
I set them Thursday, March 3 at 8 pm. Shouldnt I see or hear something by now?
Dad is a Cochin, mom's are silkie, maran, and EE

What does anyone think?

Give it a little more time. Chicks don't always hatch on time.

I still have 3 with no pips. Its ok they may just be lazy

how much is a little bit more time? the mama was off more tonight to eat, so I hope that doesnt mean she doesnt hear them. But she went back on so I am still hoping.
This is my first hatch.
