Its bin about 21 days and our hens other two eggs have not hatched yet. I still think it was her first sucsessful hatching. We are a little confused because one out of three eggs hatched. Are the other two dead eggs? Our hen seems to have given up on those eggs. Our hen hatched a french cuckoo maran cross, I have no clue what breed my hens are. My mom picked random chickens from tractor supply. LOL

Can you candle the eggs? If it's your hens first hatch she may not stay with the unhatched eggs. There can be a bit of time from hatch to hatch.

Great Idea! Haven't thought about checking them to see if they are growing still. I will do that tomarrow.

Definitely candle, after my broody hatched her first chick, I let her sit for three more days and then took the eggs and incubated the ones further along. Seven hatched!
