You really don't need to rude about my ignorance. I know more than you think. Plus, what are you? 40? I'm only 11 FYI.

You will do alright. I'm not a hatching expert but you can try this thread. Good luck to you.

I was not trying to be rude. It was a fair assumption that if you thought the eggs wouldn't hatch after only 2 weeks, then you need some education on raising chickens and eggs. I was actually trying to be helpful. Sorry you chose to take it the wrong way.

If the eggs were already removed from the brooder, they're not going to hatch. I would suggest some research (this is an excellent source of information), getting yourself knowledgeable about chickens and hatching eggs and then see if you can convince your dad to try again. You don't have to be an expert, but you should definitely know a lot more about them than you currently do. You might also want to consider getting some 4-6 week old pullets to start with. They're old enough to be out of the brooder, they're feathered and can go into the coop (you DO have a coop, right?). But before you do that, study up on chicken care. It will make your experience far more enjoyable and the chickens' lives more positive.

to me, it sounds a lot like I'm treating the chickens cruelly by not knowing why they wont hatch. I also found out why they wouldn't grow. My friends mom said that they were not able to have chicks because of their breed. But thx for the info?

Thank you. I will keep that in mind when we raise more chickens.

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear, but we were only checking the chicks to see if they grew in the egg at all ( we checked the second week they were in the incubator). It wasn't my call to take them out. I actually wanted to see if they were just late bloomer's, but then again, I'm not the chicken expert.
