The counter is on 1 more day on my incubator, there is only one of my eggs in there that is due in one day, it's a cochin bantam. I was very hopeful until lately I just have a feeling I might be disappointed,
Last time I candled it was before I put it into lock down a couple days ago, the egg is full, I see the air pocket, but I have never seen any movement.
I always made sure it was turned multiple times a day, didn't drop it on the floor or spike it like a football or anything like the (hehe)
should it be moving the egg at all?
No pips yet

Oh I just went in to check the humidity level, and the egg moved a little, I am hoping that is a good sign, I have it on a little non slip mat and it has done almost a half roll so :fl

Not all chicks move the same. We actually have one that pipped a couple hours ago after 4 hours of just shaking... Usually i don't see steady movement until zippering, but some move here and there. You might just have a calm bird, that will hopefully come out tomorrow!
