Personally, I saw more shaking and wobbling right at lockdown. Not so much as they were getting ready to pip, so don't put too much stress into no shaking. And you know they don't shake when you are watching, right? Lol

This thread has so many people hatching now, it would be nice if everyone would include what day you are on, and such. I'm pitiful at keeping track of everyone!

but maybe its just me....

Day 19. Still running dry as my air cells are too small. I have 23 live chicklets. I think I've eliminated one clear, one mid term death, and one stinker. And I actually set one last egg a day after the others, because it was so pretty. Put a milk carton baffle in the far corner last night, and it seems to be helping to regulate temps on both sides.

I'm on day 15. Lockdown commencing in 3 days! I think I might have early hatchers because my temps ran warmer than normal on this batch. We shall See!

okay.. without any more shaking I got nervous and *gasp* opened the bator and candled them. I needed to add more water and thought.. hey - I have a good excuse!

They were both moving around in there... shadow to the bottom of the air cell and the bottom pointy end of the egg completely filled out. I placed them back inside and then played some *chick* music in hopes to encourage them to get moving! I am not going to mess with them again until day 24. If I don't see any pips.. then I will throw in the towel with this batch.

If you were tracing the air sacs when you candled, it will shift a little from where you last drew it... is it pipped at the total wrong end, or just outside of your pencil lines? Can you take a pic?
