egg hatching
« on: July 28, 2010, 20:38 »
3/5 of my eggs under my broody have now hatched and it is coming to the end of day 21. Can the others take a while to hatch? we candled them and they definately have chicks in.

Many thanks :)

Day 22 is not unusual in my incubator, and I usually wait another day to make sure!

Hope they are okay

I would, I am in the same position as you - it is day 22 for both my broodies and so far nothing although I am sure I saw one move this morning.
Staffies are softer than you think.

I had a broody who went as far as day 24. It's best to leave them for at least 23 days as using a broody can sometimes take longer than an incubator - I think I read that on here somewhere...
