Chook Me!

When do u have to get rid of the chicken eggs before they go bad?

I'm hatching them by chicken, not incubator. We have 2 so far. They came out of the shell on the afternoon of Thursday, July 19. Are the other eggs dead? Please help me with that.

1. I would give them a couple more days, if they dont hatch by sunday then I would throw them away.
2. Well, usually chicks will hatch within 48 hours of each other. If it goes on longer than that, take them out.
3. Give them another 48 hours then it's fairly safe to assume that they won't hatch. You have to remove them as the hen will sit on them indefinitely if you don't.
