Day 22 under hen and no pips

[esmeshens]

Hi all,

I’m hatching 8 eggs under my broody hen, this is the first time both of us have hatched eggs. It’s day 22 and there’s no pips on any of the eggs.

I’ve not candlled the eggs are it’s been too difficult to try take them from mother hen and didn’t want to stress her out anymore.

Can anyone help!! anything i can or should do? Can they still hatch even if they’ve not pipped yet???

(also we got the eggs from a local
farmer who usually has a 100% hatch rate, and our girl has done great protecting them and sitting on them)

Hey! I see no one answered you! How did it turn out? Did they hatch? What did you do?
