I did this and I swear, and got the first pip shortly after. I used the YouTube video that says to help hatching chicks. I don’t think it was a coincidence! Good luck. I just hatched a batch of silkies/showgirl/satin/frizzle eggs from eBay. They hatched May 30. My son, Luke LOVES them!Try to play some momma hen noises/chick noises. I found a few videos on YouTube that were good to play. I would play them the noises 2-3x per day from day 18. The trick is to find videos without a lot of bad background noise (loud wind) or talking people or the other animals making louder noises in the video than the hen/chicks. The hen/chick noises are motivating to the ones in the egg and hatching.
good luck with the remaining eggs!
