Day 24

[Melissadarling]

Hello. This is day 24. I have 7 eggs. 1 pipped. The other 6 were moving yesterday. Today nothing. Temp 37.8 humidity 71. Worried the others died.

Give them time. They may, or they may not, but some just take a little while longer.

It's a circulated air inc and the temp is 37.8 H is 68-71

Is this the temp on the incubator, or from a separate thermometer?

You should get a separate thermometer to verify the temperature. You an calibrate it in a glass of salted ice. I had the same thing happen with my incubator and decided to 'help' the eggs hatch when they were way overdue. Lost all the babies, and later found out the temperature was too low even though the display said it was bang on.

Exact same with my last 'first' hatch. I didn't calibrate it.
I didn't try to help tho. I just pitched them and called it a fail.
Note the 2 temp readings... This is the hatch I have going now, External is hovering at 100 F at top of egg height. Display shows 108.5 F. (Bator was free) so I'm working with it. Humidity was calibrated and on the money

Have you candled?

I can't find it indicated anywhere, are we talking about chicken eggs? Is your bator circulated or still air? How are temp/humidity verified, built in gauges or calibrated equipment? Are they eggs from your own flock? What bator, are vents open?

Sometimes.. not moving is a sign of sleeping/resting.

How long since the 1 pipped?

I candled and can only see the open part at the top. I did the water test and they were wiggling yesterday.

The incubator. 4 hatched out of 12. They were due on the 23rd. Last two hatched yesterday. Glad I didn't give up.
