I have 6 eggs under my hen.They should of hatched by now. Can eggs take longer than 21 days? I candled them and they are dark inside with the air sac still full. Are these eggs going to hatch? Thank you for any help!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chickens and eggs cannot count. I had some that hatched at 20 days, some at 22 & 23 days. Others have had them go as long as 25 days, especially if they get cool at some point. Wait a little longer before you give up.
Keep in mind that the broody hen isn't sitting on them and keeping them at a constant 99 all the time. It can definately take longer. Are you sure they are fertile? Sometimes they sit the first time on infertile eggs.
Yes the eggs were fertile.The hen Carmel, has only left the nest 2 times that I know of.So hopefuly they will hatch soon!!!!!!
