My broody has eggs due the 12/13 does that count?
Yes! My eggs are due to hatch the same day. The hens do a WAY better job than incubators though.
What kind of chicken is your broody & what are you hatching?

I sure hope so as this is her first time and my first standard broody I never candled the eggs to knowYes! My eggs are due to hatch the same day. The hens do a WAY better job than incubators though.

I would have liked to let them sit but they probably got warm while they were shipping, and I didn't want to wait too long in case some developed!Sounds like you will have a good few hatching! When I get shipped eggs I usually let them sit for a lot longer; I think someone on here recommended 24 hours.
I am on Day 11, planning to candle again on Day 14. Last time I candled (at Day 9), one of the eggs looked kind of weird, all dark, so I don't think that one is alive. Next time I candle I will see how it looks but will probably toss it.
My incubator temps have been all over the place so we'll see how things go, but hopefully I will get a couple chicks at least. Last time I candled I think 7 were still alive, but temps have been up & down so who knows!
I need a broody!Yes! My eggs are due to hatch the same day. The hens do a WAY better job than incubators though.

You, Honora and I are all "due" the same day!!! Here's hoping for a heaping pile of babies!My broody has eggs due the 12/13 does that count?

Yes, I am a little worried because I will be away on a business trip the last 2 of the 3 days of incubation which is the critical time - leaving my husband and kids with the responsibility of misting, checking, assisting if necessary...I hope the little buggers hang on a little until I get home...One of the teachers at my kids' school incubated duck eggs last May. She said they were hard to hatch because of all the misting. She ended up with 3 baby ducks though, & they were the CUTEST. They followed her around the yard, lol.
Now i have a broody serama sitting one one duck egg until next week i will add a chicken egg
