[Dantheman1]

Hi there guys

I am on day 21 of incubation of my chicken eggs and nothing has happened when I went into lockdown on day 18 all 4 were moving what do I do now also I am very new to this. My humidity keeps fluctuating between 35 to 45% what do I do

What was your 8ncubation temperature, and how steady was it?

Some people dry hatch, I don't.

Any pips yet?

Can you candle one and see if there's any movement or an internal pip?

Give it another 3 days. I know very few people who did not have a delayed hatch their first time or two incubating.

This article is great to look at the development and make sure yours looks right for Day 21.

If you see movement, let them stay another say or two.

Leave them be. When they are getting ready to you often will not see much if any movement due to no room left.
