ASAP it is day 22 and nothing has happend

[C and c chickens]

Yeah, I wrote it down on the calendar, should I turn the incubator up at all? We put them in so the will hatch before Easter, do you think they will hatch before then or even on Easter?

 

[Anime2lover]

If temp and humidity are fine then I wouldnt worry to much, it can take up to three days for chicks to fully hatch, and there will be times where they go quiet. For the ducklings, they typically take a full seven days longer, sometimes more.

I just went back to check on them and one pipped, I hope opening the incubator did not hurt it

It will be fine. The hardest thing to do right now is sit on your hands.

 

[C and c chickens]

Tok thank you soak much for all your help I really appreciate it, I will keep you posted

 

[Anime2lover]

Good luck, their lots of fun. Though waiting is hard.

HI guys, is it normal for it to stay quite, the hole is still the same size

HI guys, is it normal for it to stay quite, the hole is still the same size

hole in the shell right? if so yes, it took a lot of effort to make that hole and now it can breath and relax.

 

[C and c chickens]

Yeah the hole in the shell, no more pipping for any of the other ones though

 

[rjohns39]

It's just resting. if it's in the right position you might be able to see in through the hole, but I wouldn't open the bator just yet. If memory serves chicks can go up to 24 hours before they start unzipping, ducks up to 48.
