24th day and no pip!!?!!

[MelissaRose]

So you saw it moving when you candled it?

I just candled and I saw it pushing against the air cell! I’m m worried I just killed it!

 

[MelissaRose]

I would put it back in the incubator and make sure the humidity is right. If it is too low the chick will have a hard time hatching.
These are chicken eggs correct?

I didn’t see a beak in the air cell. Maybe I could raise the humidity to moisten everything.

What is the humidity right now? And is this a chicken egg?

 

[Poultry_guy]

Yes it’s a chicken egg. The hydrometer says 82% but I did fine with it saying 90%

Ok. I think thats a little high, hoping someone will correct me if I'm wrong. I'm pretty sure the humidity is supposed to be between 60 and 70%, again can someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Did you say that some other chicks already hatched? Are they doing ok?
I think theres still a chance for this egg. Ive heard of them hatching on the 25th day.
What is the temperature in the incubator?
I am going to tag some people to help out in a minute.

 

[MelissaRose]

Tagging @WVduckchick @aart can you help out?
I don't know of anyone else to tag. Can some more people help out here?
