i have seven pure silkie bantam eggs being laid on by my broody hen. I know for a fact the eggs are fertilized, and when i candle the eggs, i can see a chick in all but two of them, we’re on day 23 right now and no signs of hatching at all, what’s going on?? (picture of mom {1} and dad {2} below)

I have a small brown silkie who is probably about five months old. We purchased her at about 3 or 4 months from a trusted breeder. Two days ago we noticed one of our roosters breathing heavily and coughing and sneezing, as well as watery, greenish poop. We isolated the rooster and put him in the...
