    Little Giant Still Air Incubator

    What is the ideal number of eggs that should go into this incubator that would result in a good hatch rate? I know the temperature doesn't distribute all through the incubator so I was curious.

    Pipped Eggs

    I have 2 eggs left that have pipped. They haven't moved or done anything for the past 24 hours. Should I candle them sometime and see if they're still alive?

    Hatching Chicks

    Thanks so much. You gave such good advice. I will leave it closed till the hatch is over. I am already at 50% hatch rate with 2 more eggs pipped. I don't want to risk losing them.

    Half way through day 22

    It may take a little bit. I'm on day 23 today and still have chicks hatching. The first egg pipped early Sunday on day 21 and didn't hatch till late at night on day 22. Over 24 hours!! This is my first time as well. I have learned that they do vary a lot. Just be patient.
