When should I expect my chicks to hatch?

Hello all, this is my first time hatching out chicks and I am so exited! We are day 16! I was just wondering what the time window is for the eggs to hatch, and after how long give up on the eggs if they haven’t hatched. Thanks!

I would give up on day 3 or 4 (after most of them hatched)

Okay, I have a hen hatching the eggs so will she wait that long for them all to hatch or will she get up after a certain amount of time?

She might, or she might not. Mine this year have been awful about sitting on duds
