Have a hen with a nest in a flower pot.
Chicks started hatching early Monday. It is now Wednesday. I see at least 3 more eggs in hatched. How long do we give them to hatch.
We plan to move her and her chicks to a special area set up for them and not a flower pot on the front porch.
 
It can take a few days between hatching depending on when the eggs were laid. You’ll know when time is up when momma hen leaves the nest. Once they abandon them, it means the eggs more than likely have died.
 
We are able to give the chicks and mom food and water 3 days is what I was thinking. There are 12 chicks so far. And today I saw no sign of a freshly hatch chick
