Hi! I have a broody hen sitting on 8 bantam eggs ( since 06/1) in her own separate chicken tractor. I've been able to observe her closely and she hasn't left the nest for an extended period of time. Today would be day 20 and I'm not hearing any pipping from the nest. Should I pick her up and see if there are any signs of the eggs hatching?
This is my first time hatching eggs and I'm just a little worried. At this point should I check for signs of life? Or give it another day or two?
