Help with hatching chicks

[honfor500]

I have two milli fleur bantom eggs under my broody hen they are on day 23 and still have not piped i have been candleing them and i can see them moving around in side. Any suggestions on what i should do .Should i help them break out of there shells or let them be?

 

[HEChicken]

I would let them be.

 

[nifty50chick]

I agree, let them be for now......but please keep us posted!

 

[honfor500]

Now i can hear them chirping and they are moving around alot inside does that mean they will hatch soon?

 

[weimarmama]

Yes, it shouldn't be long before they hatch. Mine usually start peeping the night or day before they pip.

I sure hope they hatch tomarrow my hen is starting to lose interest in setting.


Oh by the way I have 5 D'uccles 2 cochins 2 americaunas 1 wellsumer and 1 cuckoo maran

Well its the morning of the 24th day and they are just starting to poke there beaks through in one spot. Hopefully they will be out by tonight because i am going to pick up some 2day old americaunas and 1 2day old light brahma that i plan on putting under my hen tonight with them. I just love getting new chicks
