Thanks to everyone for the support & great information. I did finally open the four remaining eggs...that being said I think two may have been shrink wrapped the other two were moist/gooey:( I have four healthy chicks, the fifth was the smallest egg & 1st to hatch. At first I called him little...

How long is too long to keep eggs in incubator? I did the water test again & all egg still bobbed just top air pocket out of water. I tried candling without success. The lights I used before the hatches is in use now with chicks. What is the longest time it has taken for an egg to hatch via...

Well not sure what to thinkDay 25 & I have four eggs left in incubator...being a newbie I have not watched the humidity since the hatches on Saturday & Sunday nor have I monitored temperature though temp has been fairly consistent. Tonight I tried the float test and all three eggs bobbed with...

No... Can try later. I did read a post or two about that awhile ago. Thanks for reminder

The little one passed last night. I believe this was for the best, there were issues, spradle legged & so weak from the start. Unfortunately, just not healthy. Good news is I have five healthy Araucana Chicks! One is tufted, all appear rumples. They are active & bright eyed. One is light pale...

What about chick saver?

I decided to help this little one as the chicks efforts just seemed to be going nowhere & less movement. The membrane was dry so I followed the link I found to assist with hatching on site. Great information. I first got together the warm water, wash cloth, paper towels & a pair of tweezers...

I've raised the humidity to help with keeping membrane moist. I can see it pushing but the crack is still about the same. The crack is a bit open & covers about 1/4 of the shell, just not much progress since this morning. Suggestions?

Five so far hatched & in brooder. Only one with tufts that are obvious & all appear rumpless. One other egg started pipping yesterday & now has a good crack & hopefully will hatch out soon. When would you consider helping? I had read helping is a no, no so have been patiently watching.

1 chick yeaterday 2 this morning. 3 chicks so far! & two more pipping!

One chick hatched today. It was the smallest egg. Very cute & appears rumpless, but has knocked a few of the other eggs around. Is that okay? I think one more may be starting so will see in the next hour or two took the 1st one only took a few hours to be totally out. When I read other...

Thanks you. As far as I can guess electricity was off maybe 4 hrs. Difficult to know for sure as we were not home:( I knew the hatch rate would be low, I purchased 6 & received 19! Does my lockdown procedure sound good?

Thanks to everyone for posting. This has provided me with invaluable information. I now know today is not day 18 tomorrow is:) I am a newbie using a LG with automatic turner & fan. I have had so far great temp & humidity consistency, as long as I leave the temp set, not try to micro manage...
