Day 22, no chicks

[TheMother]

My broody just went 27 days and the eggs hatched! It happened the last time too. When my dad uses an incubator, it takes 21 days on the dot, but each time we hatched au natural, it took a lot longer. Don't do anything. You can candle them, but stay positive!

You'll see me reply quite often on this section that I let an egg go in the incubator until day 27 and it hatched into an awesome little hen. Don't lose hope and I'd consider letting them go that long as long as they aren't smelling rotten .

Today I threw the rest of the eggs out. Today is day #28 and still no pips or any sign of hatching, so I removed the last four eggs and put the hen back in with the rest of the flock.

I’m sorry I’m glad you waited to find out though.
