Thursday #1 hatched out, is black like mom, (BA) Friday chick #2 popped out, gray like dad's chest & belly(OEGB) Saturday, today #3 has hatched ! also gray like dad & #2 Mom was scratching and showing these little chicks how to find some food in the run. Then she sat back on egg #4.

QUESTION: How long should I leave that last egg? Is 3 out of 4 extremely good odds, or is #4 still due?
 
What is happening with egg 4?


My little cochin Ruby brooded 3 eggs, when the first two hatched she waited a couple days then left the nest. The 3rd egg was cold when I found it (couple hours she was off) and I ran it across the yard and stuck it under my broody duck - I did not know if the egg was good or not. Two days later, the egg hatched
