I put some eggs under my broody hen 3/26. Day 21 was this past Sunday 4/16. Today is day 23. How much longer should I wait for the eggs to hatch? This is my first time trying to hatch with a broody hen. Is it to late for there to be any chance of some hatching? I'd hate to get rid of eggs or check them and there was a viable chick in them.
 
Mine just hatched. Started day 20 ended day 21. On Easter. Have you candled your eggs to see if they are in there? I candled mine throughout to check for development. My momma hen didn't mind.
 
Yes I candles them on in think day 11 or 12. Some I couldn't tell because egg she'll was dark. I definitely saw movement in some of them. I didn't want to do it so close to the hatch date. So I haven't done it recently.
