I stopped carrying a cell phone years ago & the last one I owned didn't play music, I disabled the *OnStar feature in my car; anyone wants to know where I go has got to do it by air (& I'm not that interesting) as I'm always in my rearview mirror.......
I moved to the country to be alone, technology has changed the game so I struggle back as best I can.
now I just carry a gun

Very cruel. Positioning her right elbow like that.
This morning involves a choice between -
* Skiing on Madrone Leaves.
* Going to the rifle range
That is not a choice you have when you're in the burbs.
There's a large area of my backyard that is covered with 3+ inches of madrone leaves and SLIPPERY AS HELL. Functionally more slippery than Ice & Snow.

Does anybody know if there is a normal time of day for eggs hatching ?
I have a broody hen sitting on eggs that are near 3 weeks old.
I have a camera set up to maybe capture the moment.

Is it your silky that’s broody? Our two silkies are the only ones that care about hatching eggs.
Sort of humorous because they would almost never leave the nest except to get a drink, and the other chickens would lay their eggs while sitting on top of her because they all want to lay in the same spot.
Her eggs were never probably fertilized by the rooster, but she tried hatching whatever we didn’t take for 30-35 days, finally giving up.

I don't think there's a "moment". It can take a couple days once it starts.

Mother of the hen is a small white Silkie, Father is a Bantam of some kind. I call it a Rasta Bantam because of the way some of the feathers look.
The chicken sitting on the eggs is a Half-Silkie, in between size.
10 of the eggs are hers, from when she was active free ranging with 2 roosters. A few of the eggs are from the chickens, I borrowed their eggs because I know they're fertile.
The old white mother's eggs, none of them hatched. She has basically stopped laying.
I've raised parrots, finches for over 30 years and the vast majority of them hatch at night or early in the day. I would think most birds would be the same under a hen.

The birds are super-healthy, and the roosters are super horny. The half-silkie that laid the 10 eggs she's sitting on, has to have been knocked up most of those days when she laid those eggs.
I haven't kept a calendar but it sure seems like 3 weeks since I took the 10 eggs away from the half-silkie, and gave them to the old Silkie.
At that time the half-silkie was leaving her eggs and the old silkie was in full brooding mode.
Then they switched around and the half-silkie started sitting full time, so I gave her her eggs back.
I would be happy to get just 2 chicks out of their project.
