AlleysChick I did the water candling and 8 of them did move so I put them under the hen the rest I put in a plastic container with a lid, a heating pad I have kept on low with some towls and a bowl of water. Still no chicks from the 8 and I candled the others and I do see veins and air pocket should I be seeing or doing anything.Well. I’m assuming you didn’t give her all 20 at once, that they were just laid in the nest over 10 days? If so not all of those eggs will hatch. I would take her off the nest, collect the eggs and candle them.
Ones that look further along I’d put back under the hen. The others will not hatch because once the chicks start hatching she won’t be sitting for more than a day or 2.
If you have a incubator I’d put the extras in there.
