I’m very new to hatching. I had a very clever hen who jumped out of the hen area and laid all her eggs safely and securely and 10/11 eggs hatched. All are 9 weeks old now. We had a cockerel but we culled him as he was annoying the neighbours. Then I got about 5 broodys! The first one I took her eggs thinking they weren’t fertile. Took them in the house and left them for several hours. Then realised that they could be fertile ( eggs can be fertile up to 4 weeks after a cockerel dies/ leaves) so I put them back under her. After 21 /22 days Saturday morning 3 had hatched all doing well . Then another Sunday morning. We could see an egg had cracked right round sat afternoon and by sun evening that had hatched too! That one is very weak but getting stronger. I moved her and her 5 chicks into the house. There were 5 more eggs and felt them moving so have put them under a broody who had non of her own eggs in hope they may hatch. I didn’t realise but they must have been laid over a few days . Anyhow there’s hope for yours! I’m so surprised any hatched but 5 is amazing. Will keep you posted if anymore hatch.
