A good broody hen will even help them learn how to hide from predators. So there are some very real benefits to hatching under a broody hen.
Second, not all broodies will stick with sitting all the way through to the hatch. And fourth, some broodies eventually get tired of raising chickens and become brutal toward them or toward some of them.
Broody hens ought to be housed separately so they can set and hatch undisturbed by other hens, and so that they can raise their young without the risk of other chickens harming them which they can and will do at times.
So having enough housing available can be a limitation. If you can see blood vessels within the egg, there is a live embryo inside. Blood vessels in chicken eggs are normally observable within 7 to 10 days of an egg's incubation. By 18 days of incubation, the embryo takes up most of the egg and appears as a dark area within the egg. You can sometimes see movement inside the egg. If you notice broken or leaking eggs, remove them from the incubator as they are not likely to be viable and may contaminate the incubator.
After candling, return eggs to the incubator and return to the day turning schedule. Days Pre-hatching By day 18, the embryo has developed into a chick and will take up most of the space in the egg. The chick is preparing to hatch. You can do a few things to best help the baby chick prepare: Stop egg-turning at day 18 with the larger end of the egg facing up. At this point, the chick will position itself for hatching inside the egg. Maintain a temperature of Day Baby chicks start hatching Chicks will typically hatch at day If the fertilized eggs were cooled prior to incubation, the process might take a little longer.

A chick can take up to 24 hours to completely hatch, although hours is more common. The peeping of the new baby chicks will encourage unhatched eggs to also start hatching. When the chicks have all hatched, the incubator temperature can be lowered to 95 o Fahrenheit.
Once the chicks have dried, they can be moved into the brooder, which should already be up and running with a temperature of o Fahrenheit. Food and water should be in place as well. It is possible that timing or temperature went slightly awry, so give the eggs until Day Candle any unhatched eggs to see if they are still alive before discarding them.
