What type chicken hatches in 23 days?

Sounds like a late hatch. Most chicks hatch at or around 21 days but there are reasons they may hatch at 23 days. I just had two hatch from a clutch of eggs on day 24 and they are Araucana's.


What time of year do blackbird chicks hatch?

Usually spring, but some birds of prey begin courtship in late winter.


Can you add eggs to a setting hen when the first eggs have been under her for 10 days?

You should not do this. The eggs that are already there will hatch much sooner, the hen will continue to set on them but the older chicks will bully the late one's and often kill them unless you separate them. Eggs only take 21 days to hatch so if your hen has been on the nest continually for 10 days you are too late to add eggs.


I heard no sounds coming from inside a chicken egg and the rest had all pipped so I decided to help it out. It turns out it hadn't even broken through the internal membrane Can it live?

It is unlikely. Not beyond hope but most eggs will show some sign of pipping all about the same time. After hundreds of hatching here, we generally do not bother with eggs showing no sign of hatch after 48 hours. If all the other chicks have arrived, the late babies will likely be too weak and small to survive with the older,stronger chicks anyway. Try getting a candler to use on late hatch eggs and look for movement after 24 hours.

Can a chicken egg hatch the 22nd day?

Not always. Late hatch can occur if the temperatures or humidity are not right in the incubator or if the broody hen has left the clutch for any long periods of time. It is always a good idea to candle the eggs on the 21st day and see if there is movement. Leave the eggs an extra day or two if you feel they may have life in them. If hatching with an incubator, bump up the humidity to +60% for the late hatch.


When you have two broody hens on one nest sharing eggs will they kill the other's chicks when they hatch or would you separate them now before it's too late?

In my experience using Silkie Broody Hens, you do often get two sharing the brooding, and happily share the parenting. I've never had these hens kill chicks, quite the opposite, they are both very protective of them . Of course if you have a new batch of eggs you want to hatch move one broody hen on to them and she will sit. Hope this helps
