Our first hatch. Advice needed

[dandydoodle]

I know I should know this but, how long after my broody starts sitting on the eggs before they hatch. Should I candle them? Can it be dangerous for the babies? Should I just leave them alone? If I candle when and how should I do it?

Thanks,
MIchelle

Theres a 21 day incubation period. Some may hatch early, some may hatch late.

If you candle, do it around 7-8 days into incubation, if you do it before then, your

likely not to see anything. Good luck!

Thanks, will she keep sitting on the eggs that don't hatch as early?

All should start hatching around the same time
