Turning eggs under hen

[what did I do]

I don't think my broody hen is turning her eggs. It has been 10 days and they are dark on one side when I candle them. Should I turn them or is it to late - stuck eggs?

If she had not turned them in 10 days then it is probably too late. Give them a few more days and candle them again. If they are well you should see blood veins and movement within the egg when you candle.

I thought I'd give you an update. I started turning the eggs and 3 of them ended up looking good. They have not hatched as of this morning. I have eggs in the bator that are hatching and I still battle about putting some of those eggs under her. Today I think no new eggs. The eggs/chicks in the bator have a new home to go to where they will be brooded in comfort. If Turkey doesn't end up with a chick soon we will just have to break her of being broody. Winter is on the way.

Turkey, the broody hen, has 3 chicks!!!

My husband isn't happy about it.
