She started during the afternoon of 6th. The 20th will be 14 days. Today is day 12.I think I've lost count, Mary is around her tenth or eleventh day setting ?
Even if the pullets are bored and needing to be outside as soon as possible, one week is not such a huge difference.I would trust the vet as he knows your flock so well. Maybe he knows the breeder they came from too ?
River would make a nice chicken name.
I agree a week is not too bad and I can introduce some things to cheer them up, but it's not the same as having soil underfoot and sky above.
Mark might know the breeder, but it seems unlikely. It's quite a long distance and many vets between them.
I like that name too. @LozzyR had a hen called River. I'll probably go with a family name, as usual. Maybe Christa and Joyce. But first I'll check where the names Mrs and Brown come from - maybe the kids named them?
