Serama hatching issues

[chickengang11]

Hello everyone! A while ago I found 2 broody seramas sat on 3 eggs, candled all of them and they all seemed to be fertile. I don't know how long they were sat on them, but 1 has hatched just yesterday and seems to be healthy. The other 2 haven't shown any signs of external or internal pipping. I haven't heard any chirps from either of them, and when I tried the water method there was a tiny wiggle in one of the eggs. I don't know if I should be concerned, but I'm quite new to hatching, so I'm sorry if this is a dumb question. (Also, if needed, I can send candling photos) Thank you!!

Hi,

When more than one hen sits on eggs, there can always be trouble. Yours must've worked out.

If some eggs hatch and some didn't, I always give them a couple more days. If the mother leaves her eggs to take the chicks to food/water, I'd either put those eggs in the incubator or fix a sideways box on the floor of the coop with her nest and her eggs in it. Nearby have a feeder with chick crumbles and water. She'll most likely come back to sit on them.

If after a couple of days, I'd candle the eggs. You'd see some sort of movement if they are alive.

So what did you wind up with?
