How many days over?

[eksterhuis]

How many days over the due date do you keep the incubator running with eggs in? I have 9 left out of 40 which were due yesterday... One is pipping now, but there is no movement in the others, 3 of them are all silkies (the only silkies I had in there) just wondering if they take a little longer to hatch? They were all candled and viable before lock down.

Thanks

I WAIT 3-4 DAYS BEFORE I TRASH THE EGGS

I will top up the water then and keep the humidity up! I have only used broody hens up till now who leave when they think it is right!
