Should I check the eggs under my hen?? NOT HATCHING:(

[lockedhearts]

I candled mine last night under a broody and one was hatched this morning.

I really hope they hatch. This is my first time hatching and it's one of my frizzle hens (my favorite)

The air pocket looks to be not too large but not too small. These are bantam eggs and I am not sure what they are suppose to look like at this stage.

I may be ignorant, but what does the air sac look like? I've checked my eggs, but they seem to be dark all over. They're 23 days and I'm losing faith that they'll hatch.

It looks like a hollow spot at the one end of the egg (the bigger end I think-no coffee yet). Total difference between the dark area...like night and day.

My hens didn't read the direction for hatching... Mine have gone a week over... (don't know why but true...) I set eggs in the bator at the same time as I gave her eggs and she took a week extra... (don't fret)

I checked before I left for work this morning (about 6:30 am) and still nothing. The hen however is making a little clucking noise and moving her tail a bit so who knows.....
