21 days ?

Stressfull isnt it?

Leave them in there....did you bump the humidity up? Stop turning at day 18? Keep the temp even? If there was tem fluctuation..humidity problems...they could hatch late. Leave the lid closed..( thats the hardest part) and just give them a few more days.

Let us know!

hi.. ive been reading abut over due eggs..an ive found out about the bowl of water test..i tryed it ,one egg sunk with no movent,, and the other egg floated ..i bet they dont hatch..i think if they dont hatch ill be putting the incubater on ebay..and just buying chicks if i can get hold of any

Leave them, leave them, leave them!

They can hatch healthy still for a few more days. You dont always see a lot of movement, or any at all and the chick could still be alive in there. There are things you can do after a few more days if there is no progress. I have had a 28 day chick still alive that I though for sure had perished! Although I have read the last 3 days are the toughest for the birds..hey, its hard getting out of that shell!

Andy,

I know one lady who killed 8 batches of eggs before getting it right... Don't give up till you get it right it can be so fun watching them hatch. Just go to a local farm and get some eggs and put them in. Don't worry so much Chickens lay lots of eggs for a reason...

Andy give it time if you do sell your incubator I have a account on Ebay and would love to take a look at it. I hope you eggs hatch and give it time I have read people have gona to day 25 or 26 and chicks still hatched

Right! Some straight talking here!

So you came off your bike!!

If nothing hatches, get more eggs and set them off again right now! But try and get local eggs. If you have to get them off e-bay do a 'local' search and try to pick them up!

You only regret things you never did!!

still havent hatched.,,,,im not going to give up yet tho..i would like a bigger incubater because mine only holds 3.{.r-com digital incubater}..the odds are against me having a 3 egg incubater and buying my eggs off ebay..im gonna do what you said chrisieg..and try and pick some up localy, maybe off ebay ,,im gonna have one more go in this incubater,but not candle them as much..maybe once or twice,,ill just leave them alone..and just wait and see. 21 days is along time to wait for a dissapointment tho isnt it..yeah im still gutted..they still might hatch tho
