How Long??
« on: June 06, 2009, 02:06:42 pm »
Hi all

My 2nd batch of eggs have been under my broody for 23 days now, only one egg hatched so far(from first batch), I had a quick look today and nowt seems to be happening, may I ask how long do I give them to hatch before I remove them??

Many thanks

Maddox

Hi Maddox! leave them be, the hen will decide when she's fed up waiting and will move off the nest, then take them away and break them open to see what happened.

Not likely to hatch now, and if you do open them, don't have any kids or squeamish folk nearby.  Can be a bot gruesome
