This all depends on the breed and health of the broody hen. Some breeds like Araucana's have a poor hatch rate average. Several things effect hatch rate such as steady temperature and humidity. If the hen is forced off the clutch for any length of time it could effect the number of eggs hatching. Some brood hens will gather way too many eggs in their clutch and cannot maintain a steady temperature.

How do you know if a parakeet is going to hatch eggs?

Noramally, is pretty difficult to determine wether the bird will lay eggs or not. But keep in mind if it's one bird, it wont hatch. It takes a female and male. Females can lay eggs on their own but it wont be fertilized. You could probably tell if the bird goes inside a nesting box (if she has one) often.

How many eggs can a light sussex sit on?

A full sized light sussex hen could potentially sit on over 20 eggs. However, she would struggle to cope with that many chicks if the hatch was a successful one. 15 is a good number. Also make sure u mark any eggs that are underneath her, she will be stealing eggs left right and centre from your other hens trying to make them hatch too. there's a high chance these eggs wont hatch as they would be at an ealier stage of incubation when the majority of the chicks hatch. its very annoying when a broody hen steals all your eating eggs and you cant tell the difference between them.
