They hatched!!! supplemental heat?

Sometimes moms only wait 48 after first one hatches then they leave the nest and eggs
Do you have a bator you could have ready in case she does
She may not but most do

She’s still sitting on them. She’s on her nest in a separate little coop with her babies.

It’s been 3 days since first hatch. Had 1 the second day and 2 on the third day.

You did it correctly. The first three sound good. Could you post candled pictures of the last egg? Sounds like it might be a quitter.

I will candle again tomorrow and have my daughter help me get pictures. Will it hurt to keep candling?

Sounds good. Candling itself doesn't hurt the eggs.

That’s great
Many don’t so I just wanted you ready in case she does

So I went to let momma off her nest to potty in the yard and I noticed one is pipping but one has a green spot…is it rotting? .

That might be a bruise from where a chick might be trying to pip. Do you have an incubator you can put them in? @RobinS1217
Can you smell it and see if it smells bad?

I had a rotten egg break in my hand, I've never gagged so hard in my life.

We lost the cord! We just have this separate brooder station where we have the momma on her nest. Half have hatched. Still waiting on the last 5. Giving them until Saturday as the momma was adding eggs to her nest for several days after we noticed her broody. It has a smell but I don’t think it smells rotten.

Oh ok gotcha! I had a staggered hatch, had to finish the rest of the eggs in my incubator.

I just saw a chick peck at the pipped egg!! Is this bad? The mom is still sitting but had gotten up to eat with the chicks. She isn’t being as careful around the eggs though.
