I have an Ameracauna (sp?) hen that has been sitting the eggs in the box for 4 days now. When I got the hens I have one left an egg the very first night and 2 the next a.m. - so, I left them there, marked them with a red permanent marker (so I'd know which ones were which) and waited to see what would happen. there was always one of 3 hens on the nest and I removed only the eggs not marked and was quite careful to NOT move the other 3. When can I expect the babies to hatch? I read that it takes 21-30 days - is that true? HELP PLEASE
!!!
