Day 22 and nothing

[Tdwhite4098]

Day 22, eggs are extremely covered with poop and very dirty as mom has been laying on them. Should I be concerned? I tried candling, but I cannot tell much as I am new at this. Also, I don’t see any movement when I set them on a flat surface and I don’t hear anything.

Can you describe what you saw when candling? Are they all fertile?

Did you get any pictures?

. They should’ve all been fertilized, the last four that she hatched, were all fertilized. We took the days worth of eggs and set them under her, and we have a rooster that does a very good job at fertilizing. I did not candle them during the process, I did not want to disturb her.

Hmm, I would let them sit for another day or do yet.

Agree, give them a few more days 2 - 3 ... Were any sweaty or smelly? Thinking if they weren't any good, she'd get off the nest.

Just a poop smell. Nothing smells rotten.
