I had a hen go broody this past August and 1 week into it our temps went over 100 for 2 weeks straight. It got up to 104 and I just knew the eggs wer goners,but I noticed how the hen raised up off the eggs instead of setting tight. She hatched 2 chicks(both pullets). I was surprized she hatched any.

Hooray, the little chick that was helped out of the egg is all feathered and thriving and she hatched out another today so 3 so far. Thats 23 days, must be because she kept cooling them off. Ill post pics tommorrow.

OK, day 24 and another one hatched out into my hand this morning.
I put my hand under mum to see what was going on under there and I felt an eggshell so I took it out but it had a little wee chick inside who had just finished zipping the egg and he dropped out onto my hand!!! wow, a little black and grey one!!
This hatching is really weird, first mum rolls the eggs in and out then they all arrive late.
There is one more egg to hatch which I will check tommorrow, after the shock of finding this little one i had to stop searching so she would dry off under mumma!!
