How long until hatch after eggs rock?

[cluckadoodledoo13]

Hi, so i’ve got 4 eggs in an incubator. After my hen gave up sitting on them and attacked 8 that were previously fertile (i candled and there was development) i didn’t think any would hatch but last night 2 started rocking. They’ve been rocking gently this morning, how long do people think before they start hatching properly. It’s 21 days this afternoon.

Could be anywhere from an hour to a day. They’ll hatch in their own time. It is a tiring job so they take breaks too.

Ive had them rocking on day 17 and not hatch until day 21. Others rocking the day before hatch and still others not rock at all. At least it lets you know their alive!
