Day 21 should I candle?

[conroy]

Today is day 21 for my fertile eggs that are under my broody hen. I just got back from vacation...she ate one while we were away...should I candle the remaining eggs? Shouldn't they be hatching?

I would be patient and only candle on day 23. You won't be able to affect the hatch, unless you're planning on putting them in an incubator and hoping they'll pip.

I don't have an incubator...so I guess I'll just be patient

Don't interfere at all at the moment.

If they are going to hatch they will,

Good Luck,

sandie

Thanks... should I worry about the older chickens?
