How Long Do Cream Legbar Eggs take to Hatch?

[JC87]

Hi all,

I'm incubating Cream Legbar eggs, and I noticed that their shells are abnormally thick. So far, this is day 22, and I only had three external pips. Should I give them a few more days?

I would think 21 days just as other chickens. But if you say their shell was hard I would probably candle them to check for movement.

I've had a chick hatch at day 27. One of my favorite hens now!
If they don't smell rotten and I were you, I'd leave them that long .

Leave them, temperature might have been a little off to cause a delayed hatching. Sounds like theirs progress, just be patient
