My son has around forty eggs that have hatched in 21 days he says. Only one hatched and lived. Another hatched two days later and had it's toes curled under. The second one didn't seem to have the strength to break through the shell and my son's wife helped him. The rest still have not hatched, and they are about five or six days past due.
BTW, they were all candled and showed there were chicks, not blanks.
My question is how long should he wait before getting rid of these eggs? If necessary to get rid of eggs, should he cook them and feed them to the hens?
My son is about to cook the eggs, so I need a response as soon as possible. I can't get ahold of him to tell him to hold off until I ask the experts.
Thanks
