so okay today my hen hatched out 2 chicks so far, so she decides to take them out for a stroll but she did not return until maybe 4 to 6 hours after, and she is sitting on eggs in a bush, can't move her because she is crazy plus i don't have an incubator, my friend has one that i can borrow but it is occupied by bearded dragon eggs at the moment, do u guys think the eggs will still hatch?
 
Alot of times the broody will abandon the other eggs after a couple of days from when the first one hatched. How long has it been since the first chick hatched??
 
well she left for 4 to 6 hours but she decided to do night shift and one peeped today but sorta unsure about the rest
 
only way to tell is to wait it out and see, unfortunately. there's a decent chance that they'll hatch still though, especially if it's warm where you are. good luck.
 
okay so about 5 chicks hatched out successfully but some did not make it
