July 2, 200619 yr James usually the hen will start to incubate on the 2nd or 3rd egg. That will mean that they should start to hatch on the 26th or 28th. They are a bit late. I would leave them to the end of this week to see what happens. The eggs could be adled. Sorry if they are. Do you know how to candle them?
July 3, 200619 yr Author none are clear there is someting in there like a dark thingy One did hatch yesterday,but i don't think it was the first laid because of the dates. i just a bit confused if they arn't clear how do you tell if is is okay.

Here is a Good Website. But beware. I thought I had a dead-in-shell baby but i was wrong and they hatched.
July 6, 200619 yr Just wait untill there arnt any more hatching. If there are still eggs i'd say wait about a week or two and then you might want to remove the rest.
July 7, 200619 yr You might find that the hen will make a decission to through the old eggs out. Let her decide first.
