26 Button Eggs in the Hatcher....Update w/ pics PG 10...

Nothing...not one pip....

It is very, very hard to see a pip on the button eggs! Don't give up! They can take up to 18 days!!

What is the temp in your hatcher? It should be around 99 degrees, they hatch better if the temp is lower. Plus the humidity needs to be at least 70%.

That's almost exactly where I'm at...though the humidity is around 68? I have chicken eggs due to go in the hatcher on day 18...do you think it'll be okay to put them in together if they haven't hatched? Or is it one of those things if they haven't hatched by the 18th day they aren't going to?

Sometimes they're stinkers and they WILL wait until you're not looking. Just don't open the hatcher. I had some hatch on day 17 and day 18 and one on day 19 but he didn't make it.

Ignore 'em

It's the hardest thing in the world, but it works.

Woo hoo!!!!

I thought I had a pip on my first hatch and it turned out to be poop!!! I stared so hard I actually thought it moved.

That egg never did hatch!!

Hope you have a great hatch - where's the update??!!!

That's because eggs know if you look at them and then they won't hatch
