Last Saturday evening I set my broody hen on 8 eggs. Do I start counting to day 21 starting on Saturday or Sunday? Thanks
 
Saturday, if they a set after noon it is always the next day that is officially one.

I read that eggs are just as likely to hatch on day 20 under a broody hen, and this was definitely the case with mine. So you might want to start looking for chicks a day early.
