No movement noted in the water though. One of the eggs actually has the shell cracked open (membrane under intact - I did not...

    I know that humidity does matter during incubation. Between days 1-17 humidity should be 30-40% and on day 18 it needs to go up to 70%. This helps them develop right and keeps the air sac at the right side and the higher humidity at the end helps so they can come out of the shell easier....or at...

    Thanks for all the replies. I live in North Carolina and it should be high 92 tomorrow. And yes this is my first hatch.....I got some blue ameraucana eggs for my birthday. We have 5 white leghorns that are 14 week old but we bought those from local fees store as chicks.

    Advice please!! So today is day 22. We have had 10 eggs hatch between days 18 and 20. Our last hatch was about 36 hours ago - no action all day yesterday. We had 2 that broke through the shell but never made it out so we pulled them out of the incubator. We still have 14 eggs in the incubator. I...

    We now have 10 of the 28 eggs that have hatched. We are thrilled with our results so far and its only day 20! We know that we have had a successful hatch for our first time and the chicks are beautiful. A great addition to our 5 white leghorns that will start laying in the next month.

    The oldest has found the food and already bathed in the water. I did sit the younger one next to it and it walked away. I'll keep a very close eye on them but I'm sure they'll figure it out. I guess I'm extremely over protective and proud because they are actually hatching. I doubted myself...
