1 little fuzz ball about 15 min ago

I just got 1 little fuzz ball about 15 min. Ago

My first bator was a Styrofoam one that I lost my first batch. I then bought a plastic one with digital temp control and humidity control. It has a fan also. What I think I done was put them in around 3pm one day and counted that as a day. It is going on day 23 on the bator but actually might be...

I appreciate all the info. Just asking a lot question as this is my second time. First time no results so I bought that new bator maybe temp gauge is off a touch

The bator has a setting I set temp at 37.7c which is 99.86° humidity was at 50% now on lock down I bumped it up to 65% was that the wrong temp and humidity

. I did the water test and I seen it moving in the water. So I did a few more they all floated I was fixing to do another 2 eggs in water and seen 1 egg pipping

I did check a few eggs and the were dark but I did see the air sack but no movement at all. Is it wise to do the water test on them

Thanks I have 25 eggs in bator that had movement at day 15 but was never checked again. I try to check some now and let you know

Thanks for replying: But the 1 egg we checked was completely dark no air sack from what I can tell. Do you know how long I can keep egg out of bator checking it?

I just candle 1 egg and it was complete dark not sure what that means

Do you know what the eggs are to look like when you candle them this late. Is it completely dark?

I see no cracks they did roll into each other but not hard enough to crack them. I didn't Know If I messed the process up since I'm new to this. Thanks for your input

I did candle the eggs at day 15 seen movement in a few eggs and development in all eggs,but I did not candle any other time. I just took them out of the turner on day 18 Just worried since I bumped the bator I might of messed things up

Hi I'm new to hatching eggs. I lost my first batch and now my second batch is on day 22. There is no sign of pipping or movement that I can see. I bumped into the bator and a few eggs rolled around. Do you think there is still a chance of survival. The temp has been on 37.7c and humidity is now...
