Hi Nance, Sorry if your question was missed. I sure someone would have responded if the group ever gets back to discussing chickens. I would wait as long as you detect movement. It's normal for all the eggs in a clutch to hatch within a 24 hr. period. But..nothing is absolute when it comes to chickens. The one thing I would not do is to "help" the chick hatch. Some things are just not meant to be.
