My broody BO hen-for her first time- is sitting on 14 eggs-today is day 22-23? I check everyday and even stole one to candle 2 days ago-totallt dark but still nothing-how much longer do I give her until we take them from her or they rot and exploid? When I do take them from her will she continue to be broody?

day 24-I got a pip! ahhh tonight was the night I was giving up I went to hand feed and water her-I know she's spoiled-and I lifted her to check and saw a big pip! I'm sooo excited.....I hope all goes well--how am I going to sleep knowing my babies are hatching out there? Ill have to get a little earlier than normal to check on them?? I hate having to go to work when this is happening then I have a softball game I wont be home for 12-14 hours!
UPDATE TOMORROW PICTURES TOO IF ALL GOES WELL-
