This is my first hatch. I built my own incubator out of a styrofoam cooler and bought some hatching eggs from a neighbor. Its early day 20 and all 4 of my eggs have been rocking and jittering for about 24 hours now. I very carefuly candled about an hour ago and see no sign of internal pips. How long after they start rocking do they pip usually? I am feeling anxious and waiting for our new babies. Praying I didnt do something wrong. We did have a few temperature fluctuations but never for longer than an hour or two. If anything they stayed on the slightly cooler side more than they were too hot, but they have been sticking at a steady 100 and humidity of 65-70 since day 19.They all appear viable and wiggling away, but air cells seem maybe a little smaller than ive seen online.
Getting impatient and worried! I already feel way too attached to these four little ones after all the fuss it was trying to keep the temp and humidity regular. I think I did a pretty good job, but it was a lot of man hours. X Crossing fingers!
