question on when I should give up on the remaining 3 eggs

[momofdrew]

She is still setting on them...should I candle them? what would I be looking for to see if they were viable??? It took three days to hatch out the three we have...should I just wait for another day or two???? I expected the last one to be hatched by Friday...

What day are they on? If they are on day 23 or so i'd gently poke a hole in the air sack and see if there is any movement in there

If they all started at the same time(Assuming you have a broody) they should be finished hatching. I let mine stay on eggs for 24 hours after the last one has hatched, then if no activity I take those that didnt hatch away. Did you mark the eggs to ensure someone didnt sneek a extra one in on you??

24 to 36 hours is plenty of time if she started setting on all of them at the same time.

Feel blessed. I had one of six eggs develop under a broody and it never hatched. 0%
