Hello! Recently I got hold of 5 chicken eggs and decided to incubate them myself. However, 2 were unfertilised and only three made it to lockdown. It's now day 23 and only one chick has hatched. I've done some candling of the other 2 developed eggs, but have not seen any movement thus far
The chick that hatched is only three days old and already trying to jump out of the brooder! BYC was my main source of information, and I am extremely grateful to everyone here. Thank you!

If your other eggs don't hatch would you be able to get another chick for your hatched one as they do so much better with a friend. I use a Guinea cage for brooding as they can be pesky at jumping out at a very young age!!
