I have a broody hen who has not been doing a great job keeping her eggs warm. The result is her eggs are about a week late to hatch but they are alive as they wiggly and peep when I water candled them. I know that they have a yolk store for the normal incubation time of three weeks + a few days. Will I need to do anything to assist these late birds if they hatch successfully; In other words do I need to offer them food/water with a eye dropper immediately?
