    You you should definately leave that for a couple more days. Movement is a good sign, the chick might just be a late hatchet because of temperature fluctuations. Give it some time

    24 and 25 days Still Alive????????????????????????

    Ho In a still air incubator you need the temperature to be 101*F measured at the top of the eggs. Even 1*F under this can delay the hatch by 24 hours, as the embryos developed a bit slower than they should in cooler temperatures. They could still hatch, so give them another day or 2. Keep an...
