How long should I let her sit? UPDATE!!! One hatched!!!

[CrazyFowlFreak]

I have a broody OEGB sitting on two of her eggs. Not exactly sure when they should hatch, but I candled them three nights ago and they looked pretty full. Should I check them again, or just pull them out and toss them? There wasn't much room in the egg, just the air cell and I couldn't see movement. I hate to toss them if they're viable, but it seems like it's been forever since she started sitting.

Found 2 more eggs under a couple other hens, and candling shows they're fertile......if I even did that right

Be looking for any response ya get.

Well, one hatched! She was looking roough today and that's why I posted. One beautiful, fuzzy, perfect Silkie baby! There is one more egg that is a mix of a white Silkie roo and the Barred OEGB. I have two that I hatched, can't wait to see this one, if it hatches!

I was reading another post where a gal thought her eggs weren't gunna hatch after 23 days, and tossed them in the compost pile...but 3 days after tossin' them she discovered a chick hatched.
One person's reply stressed "patience".....so patient I will try to be for another day or 2.
