taking away eggs after 21 days

[karminski]

its now 23 days and my broody is still sitting on the last 3 remaining eggs which may be fertile when i shall i take them away from her i have read that it can go up to 28 days .part of me wants to take them away now but the other part doesnt 05

It would be very unusual for hens eggs to take 28 days to hatch !

If she has hatched some and if all the eggs were put under her at the same time, then take them away as soon as you're ready as they're unlikely to hatch now.

If she has chicks, she'll leave the remaining eggs when she's ready.

thats the prob the ones that did hatch all died and they were still wet when it happened

they were not fertile my maran is going mental the poor girl wish i could of put more under her but its not right to have her sit for another 21 days now i just got to get her settled back in with the others which aint easy as some got in to her pen and started bullying her .
