Is fording a chicken to go broody always the right thing to do?

I don't know how you would force a chicken to be broody.

I have never even heard of forcing a chicken to go broody being successful...

Yes! As much as possible. Watch that one just below the thermometer. Do you see the pip or are we seeing things? Sure looks like a pip in the pic!! Exciting!!

Keeping your bator closed depends on who you ask, lol... although if these are Calls, you may need to assist... Calls are notoriously hard to hatch due to short bills... sometimes they can't pip externally... keep your ear out for any internal pips that start getting quieter and don't break the shell...

Amen!!! lol

@desiree210 See where I circled in red... that looks like a pip to me! Is the shell actually broken??
They normally zip in a counter-clockwise direction when looking at the big end, so this one should zip toward the top of the picture, up and around. It would likely hit it again, in a close spot to the first one, then rest, then continue.

Do you have any idea if these could be Call ducks? I have never hatched Calls, but Ravyn has, but we will help you all we can!
