Hi,
This is the first time we've hatched under a broody. She is a great sitter - we only bought some fertile eggs because she was clearly determined to hatch something!
Yesterday was day 21 and I peeped in a few times when she was off the nest. It looked as if two out of six eggs might have pipped, but it was hard to see (the coop's quite deep).
Since then (about yesterday lunchtime and it's the next morning now), she's just been sitting on the nest. Do I just wait and see if any chicks peep out or chirp? Could it be that one or two have hatched?
Glad of any thoughts!
