Hi all,

I am new to all this, bought my first incubator, and silkie bearded mini eggs, been turning them, checking the temp etc , but today is the 21st day and nothing..........

I have candle them at 10 day, even got my friend to candle them, out off 6, 4 where fertile.

I stopped turning them 2 days before the 21st day!

Is there anyway to check to make sure they are ok, do I wait a bit longer. There is still no sounds or peeping at all.

Can I handle them now, maybe see if anything is happening or just leave them alone!

Sorry if someone has asked this question already but I am becoming a nervious reck!!

Thanks in advance!!

I'd give it at least another day. Sometimes they are just a little lazy. If you open the bator and check on them it lets all the humidity out and you don't want that as you might risk loosing them all. Good luck!

Give it a couple days sometimes chicks are late.
