Still hoping, first time hatching, I thought with the hens doing the work it was always a day 21 thing?

Well im not so sure about that actually, mine were in an incubator...Im sure she would know by now if they are good or bad though. Chickens are pretty darn smart .

If your hen is letting you get to the eggs, maybe shes not doing her job right...She shouldnt be letting you near them lol

she doesnt like it, gives the old lazer beam eyes and groans at us. She quickly places them back under her without delay.
