Broody hen

[watson35]

Hi I have a question I have a broody hen she hatched one on Saturday and she has one more egg under her that hasn’t hatched yet but when I candle it moves and has a heartbeat but today makes day 22 I was wondering if it’s normal to go past day 21 or maybe the egg form late then the first one so it’s going to be a last one to hatch

Are you sure the egg wasn't deposited in the nest a day or more later than the others? How many eggs did she have?

She only has 2 the one that just hatched and the one I posted about now it’s full the egg is fully it’s moving it has a heart beat I put the egg against my ear I can hear it move barely but I think the egg was forming last but it was there when the other egg was there she only has 2!
