Hey everyone my girl had 8 eggs under her.... I check them and 7 of the showed to be developed. This is day 21 and i had 5 chicks hatch yesterday now im waiting on the other 2..... Idk what to do about the other 2 eggs that hasnt hatched. What should i look out for?

When I have a hen that clocks on day 21 that eve I set up my incubator so that on the morning of day 22 I just take thos few eggs that haven't hatched and hatch them in the incubater and then when they are ready to come out of the incubater roughly 12 to 24 hours later depending on how strong the chick is I put it under the hen without letting her see me with them and she will usually just think they r her
I've only ever had one hen that this did not take to the chicks but every other rine I did this it worked

Momma won’t leave them if they haven’t hatched and there are chicks. Momma knows if the eggs are good or not
I would leave them another day or two. They could just be a little later.

I've had plenty hens in the past leave the nest with chicks in the eggs if I got to the nest when she just leaves then I'd be able to get the chicks heated and theyed usually hatch

She might of disposed of quitters? Wait and see. Feed and water up close to Momma..

I have been leaving a small bowl of feed and water with her. She refuses to leave her nest. The whole time shes been sitting she has gotten up twice.

So after no pips i decided to investigate.... All the other eggs were quitters and didnt fully develop. So momma hen had hatched 5 babies in a batch that wasnt even her babies.
