Hi everyone.
I have 2 chickens sitting on eggs. Marked eggs June 23rd 2022. On July 13 first 2 eggs hatched (tan eggs), 3 blue/greenish eggs are still not hatched. When candling them they look formed and alive. I did the float test and to me they seem to past the test. The float where air bubble is.. about 10% floats up... attached are pics of the 3 eggs in the flat test. Any thoughts? I'm worried the chickens will abandon them since now they are a little occupied with the 2 chicks.

so both chickens have chicks? or can you sneak these under the other chicken. hard when there is a staggered hatch date. I guess I would wait until day 25, but like another said have an incubator set up.
