Hi guys,
We had to take some eggs away from a broody hen who would sit on them and then kick them out. These were developing eggs. So we put them in an incubator and candled every 5 days or so to make sure they were developing and to try and figure out what day they were on. This is day 22 that they have been in the incubator and there is nothing happening, no pipping or anything. We went into lockdown on day 18 and everything. Is there anything that we should do or should we just wait?
*we did have a couple of days where the temp dropped about a half degree and then we'd put it back up but it was only like that for maybe 12 hours, if that long. I want to say this happened 3 times. Could that have delayed anything? Also note this is our 1st time incubating, although you could probably tell.
Thanks everyone!
