Day 21 and no chicks
I am quite surprised and disappointed. ..no babies! They looked good at day 10. I didn't check again though. She is isolated in her own cozy pen and she has been a dedicated if not obsessive sitter. I find it odd.
Buf I suppose those are the breaks.....there is always next time

Agree with brebis. I always give an extra day or two before giving up on them. Fingers

Yeah give her a little more time, it's gotten a little colder that could have slowed the hatch a day or 2.

If you have an incubator, put the eggs in for a day. Some eggs might need an extra day. Slip chicks under at night.

Diligently follow the path of two swords as one. Percieve that which the eye cannot see. Seek the truth in all things. Do not engage in useless activity.
