First broody's eggs due to hatch this week!

First chick hatched today! I was so excited when I could hear it under her this morning. No sounds when I got home but my husband picked up the hen (to pull out new eggs and check to see how things were going) and I got a look. One chick and two eggs under her. No signs from the other eggs yet but I did put then under her in two consecutive days. We'll see tomorrow!

These were shipped eggs
and I have read that the hatch rate at best is about 50%. I hope at least a couple hatch after all her hard work.

Today is day 22. Still no signs of anything happening. How long should I give shipped eggs under a Broody before I give up on them. Actually 8PM last evening made the full 21 days.
