I have a hen that has hatched out 3 chicks, each one from a different hen.
(I have 3 hens sitting right now and none of them have been with a rooster but the hens that are with the rooster haven’t gone broody)
From 4 hens with fertile eggs 3 have had chicks hatch but for some reason the 4th hen’s eggs haven’t hatched. I’ve candled them and there doesn’t seem to be chicks in her eggs or any sign of growth, just the yolk is what I can see. Her eggs should be fertile because she is with a rooster. Any thoughts on what the problem could be? Thanks!!
