Were you temps low during the incubation?

now that i've read what other people have said, im not too sure. I used the thermometer that came with the incubator (LG) and the one that came with the turner and they were both pretty much the same. Both read between 99 and 100 degrees.

were you using a still air or forced air?

Still air should be between 101-102

forced air should be around 99.5

still air. So what should i do? The chicks are still alive, they just aren't pipping

Short answer... wait. If they're alive then it's a matter of time. You just ran them slow. Patience sucks but there it is.

I have eggs hatching as we speak. I am so excited this is my first hatch with eggs from my own chickens. Dad is a White Plymouth Rock and the moms vary from white plymouth rock, rhode island red, new hampshire red, black australorp. One is completely out of the shell, one is struggling I'm resisting the urge to help.
