Hi all, I’m new to chicken keeping and have a silkie hen go broody recently, so I bought 6 eggs (postal) and let her sit.
Today is day 22 and no pipping, should I candle? I candled on day 18 and 4 seemed to be developing, the other 2 eggs were removed. Could these four still hatch?
 
Yes, they could still hatch. Hold the eggs to your ear; by now you should hear and feel a tap-tap, maybe even hear a peep. If nothing, then candle. My last broody hatched two days late. I probably marked the day wrong on the calendar but could be the weather???? What matters is they did hatch.
 
Thanks, I tried tapping a few and can’t hear any taps back or any movement so I will candle them tonight, I don’t think I’m going to have a hatch though 😔
 
No hatch for me, however I’ve bought so day olds and they are just lovely.
Maybe we’ll try again next time
