let mom brood them, started hatchin friday (day 20)

[cutlass1972]

they hatched out one by one starting friday all the way through last night. Still one egg that has pipped but seems to have quit zipping almost a day ago. one more egg no signs of pipping (today is day 22)

My question is are they dead? Is it time to remove them? I would think the one that started pipping and quit a day ago is probably dead, I am not sure about the one that never pipped?

How long does it usually take a clutch of eggs to finish hatching? It seems to me that a 2 day span seems long? This is my first time, I thought they all come out more or less within a few hours of each other?

Not sure, since my first broody hen ever is due to hatch any time now. But, is the hen still sitting on the nest?

yes, she is still sitting on the 2 eggs and the chicks.

Supposedly her instincts will tell her when they're all done. I'd say wait a few more days.

BTW, that's a great coop building job, very nice!
