Yes at least 65% for hatch. They do look so much better. Good luck and let us know how your hatch goes

Hi nothing happened until now.. day 21 and just nothing happenes..

 

[MJessy]

I'm so worried about doing something wrong.. I have fear that they won't pip at all.. tempersture was for several hours at 35-36C.. oooh I took them out very very carefully at the position they are and hold the candling lamp to the air cell..didn't turn them or anything.. it looks as if they were alive! But now I blame myself that I shouldn't have done that although I was very careful lifting them up same position and not tu turn or twist or something..
maybe my incubation temp was for the whole time 1-18 a bit down.. don't know why they are late.. I'm sooo sad made the mistake that the humidity was from 1-15 or 16 maybe a bit high..
Oh does anyone can tell me something??
Is there a possiblity to get chicks out (if it will be day 27 don't know) and they would be still alive.. like assisted birth.. if they hadn't piped internally??? (((

Temp was low for several hours between day 20-21 at lockdown 35-36C

21 days is just a guide, even with perfect temps throughout incubation they may be longer. If your temps have been on the low side the entire incubation period this certainly may delay hatch. Are you still on day 21? If you are I would not be worried yet at all.

Have a read of this article on the link ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/step-by-step-guide-to-assisted-hatching
It's got lots of great info on eggs that are overdue. Also how to do the float test and when to do the float test.

Hi! Thanks a lot yes I know the article.. it says up to 25 days is possible.. still I'm worried.. what if they don't hatch
Yes I'm still at 21 day because I made a mistake in counting days I guess.. set them on monday 25 at night but I think it was already tuesday 3 o'clock the morning.. uuups was a long night because I made the incubator and hat to adjust the temperature al the time..
Hm as I carefully shone the light on them I made with a pencilslight marks where the air cell is now..

Could you tell me please if they are ok for day 21? In some hours I'll be at day 22.. and nothing happens..
If the air cell is ok could it nevertheless be that the babies are too much "moinstruised" because of too much humidity and are too big to turn or so?
Thanks a lot Jessy

They look fine. As for your counting, day 1 is a full 24 hours after incubation. So say you set Monday 9am day 1 would be Tuesday 9am, day 2 would be Wednesday 9am and so on.

I know it's hard but try not to worry They are not way overdue and still have time to hatch yet. Intervening too early can do more harm that good for the chick.

You're really great thanks! so you think I should leave them.. don't watch don't toutch don't light with torch just wait and watch the humidity and temperature right? Just one more thing..can you help me with the counting of the days? I set them at 3 oclock after midnight in the night from monday to tuesday 25 of maj.. so i few hpurs I'll be at day 22?? Is that right?
