Griffin Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 If you can't get them out to candle them then I'd leave them for another few more days yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I read 3 days after the 21 days have elapsed, just to make sure. Wow 3 little beauties - hope I get at least 3 I only have 5 eggs under Gemma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 If mum's off the nest pick them up and put them to your ear....if there's a live chick inside you'll hear a squelching noise as it moves around or a tapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
