Thank you. I too couldn't find anything regarding vents or plugs. Thanks for taking the time to help.
Day 20 incubation in serious need of help please

i had eggs that were abandoned by the chicken after day 17 so I put them in the incubator, it's day 23 now, this chick pipped its way through and after 24 hours was still in the same position, so I carefully broke away some shell and this is what I'm left with, I don't have a humidity thermometer(I should have ordered one) and wasn't sure I'd need it, as its my first time. Please don't be harsh, I want this chick to survive so badly and I hope I have done the right thing.
Hi
I'm sorry it has taken so long for me to see your post but I'm afraid new members have to be approved due to persistent spammers. I did reply to your pm that you sent me. Did you get my reply??
How's this chick now? Did he make it?
Your most welcome, keep us posted on how you get on!
I've just put 7 in lockdown tonight, so I will be a worry wart until they hatch :/

Day 21 no pips no noise.
If the air cell is tiny should I put a tiny hole in? I am scarred they will suffocate

21 days is just a guide, some can be later. As you are not totally sure what your temp has been it could have been running low which can cause late hatch.
