So this is my first Broody hen and this is her first clutch. Last night before I went to bed the eggs were rocking. And this morning (Day 21) I checked on the eggs and a few were pipped. My Question is, How long after they are externally pipped will they hatch?
 
There is no exact amount of time between pipping and actual hatching, but roughly 12 hours. I also had eggs pipped last night and they still haven't hatched, so these are beyond 12 hours. Be patient and try not to disturb the nest; disturbing/looking in the nest could cause the eggs to die in the shell caused by temperature and humidity changes at a crucial time.
