Hatching

Hello all!
So we are on day 20 of our first hatch !
We started off with six silkie eggs but three of them didn't develop which broke my heart anyway and now I'm worrying about the last three not hatching. I candled them before they went into lockdown and to my knowledge everything looked good. The only reason I'm worrying is because I've read about people's eggs rocking and rolling and maybe even cheeping for a day or two before the hatch date and mine aren't showing any signs of movement or pipping

Do you think they're okay? Obviously I know not to interfere ! It's just so nerve wracking.
 
We start day twenty in about 3 1/2 hrs and my incubator is silent as well. Most of my action typically starts end of day twenty through end of day 21. Find something to keep you busy! Growing and hatching is hard work. Be patient for now! :)
 
That's reassuring, thank you!
I'm going to get out of the house for a little while and do a food shop before I drive myself crazy waiting around and staring at the incubator

Good luck with your hatch!
 
And good luck with your hatch as well! I heard some peeping a while back but no external pips yet. You'll have to update with your progress! It would be fun to see how yours progresses compared to mine. I have a couple dozen.
