A couple had almost absorbed all yolk, most had not. And a few had quite a bit of fluid. Only thing I can think was maybe there was a humidity issue at some point that I didn't catch.

So this evening we decided to perform "eggtopsies" and it seems as though my entire incubation process was just fine, temp and humidity must have been ok, up until the very end because almost every egg had a fully formed chick inside, dead. Something at the end must have gone wrong, just have to...

Thanks for the insight. I will also add, just before lockdown on day 18 we candled 42 eggs and only 7 were removed because of no development whatsoever. The other 35 were all moving inside their eggs just fine.

Ok good to know. I read somewhere that temp should be turned down to 95° after chicks start to hatch. So I should have left it at 100°? And will look into float test, thanks.

And now that the chick in the bator has significantly dried, the humidity has dropped to 63%

It's still air hovabator 1602n. We incubated at 100° with very little fluctuation. At day 18 after removing turners, the temp dropped about 6° and took quite a while to rise back to 100°. Two of the chicks hatched yesterday morning, one yesterday afternoon, and one early this morning. We saw a...

It's now the morning of day 24 and only 4 chicks have hatched of a possible 35. Can I expect anymore?

Thanks everyone! Yes I do believe it is a pip, I can see a pointy little beak attempting to breK through!

Thank you!! Three total now. They're moving around so much and rolling all the other eggs. Is this ok? I think they may have cracked another egg by moving it because to me it doesn't look like a pip.

Two babies finally hatched this morning. Now to just wait for some more to pip :jumpy

So it is now 9 hours since I discovered the one egg started to pip. Nothing has changed and no other pips from any other eggs. Is this still normal?

Thank you both so much! It's such a relief hearing that this is all pretty normal. I can't take my eyes off the incubator waiting for something to happen. I can guarantee I won't be very productive at anything else for the rest of the day.

That is my exact problem, I started counting on the day I set them. Thank you so much!! Quite a relief. This is our first time incubating so I'm one nervous wreck. Lol. I find myself checking on the incubator every 10 minutes. Any idea how long before I should expect that first chick to hatch...

Today marks day 22 of our incubation period and we have had only one egg start to crack just a little bit. Yesterday I saw a couple eggs rocking, but no pipping. I could hear peeps every now and then starting yesterday (day 21) but not very often. We candled before lockdown on day 18 and all but...
