Do Lavender Orpingtons Usually Hatch Late?

Aw I’m sorry! You could possibly open it if you’re sure they’re dead and see why if you wanted but I’d probably give it a day or two to make sure.

yes i will probably look tomorrow evening

Okay good idea

Are they all Orpingtons?

Awesome! Glad you at least got some birds out of it! Though I’m sorry about the Lavs

I agree Do NOT poke the egg. Wait until day 25 to pip the egg yourself, you could end up killing the click if you do it to soon

Okay, i just candled them and there didn’t seem to be any life in there and it wasn’t very dark inside the egg either

they are probably duds but it's still best to wait it out

My Orpingtons always seem to like hatch on days 22-23-24-25. Never on day 21. I get the same results under broodies.

Other breeds I have including mixes usually hatch either a day early, or exactly on day 21.

Thank you for this

You're welcome. This is only my experience, but I bet other people have the normal, day 21 hatch unlike mine.

I'm just talking Orps, not a specific color.
