Chick pipped incubator off over 2 hours and open

[Puffmeister]

If it was only off a couple of hours, the chick should be fine. You may have to check to make sure it is not shrink wrapped from the incubator being left open.

Ok thank you

Had all your other ones hatched in 21 days though?

No worries. It gets easier on the nerves as you keep incubating, but I can tell you the excitement of it never ends.

No they staggered, day 22 then 2 on 23 then 1 on day 24. I hope nerves ease lol thank you

I would get another thermometer/hygrometer to check your incubator's temperature as that sounds like it was running lower than 99.5F degrees. Govee is a good brand if you're going to search for one. I have four incubators and only one is correct.

Silkies generally hatch Day 21, and I've had a couple as early as Day 18, but for the most part, I see them pipping on Day 20. The two I had that went to 24 days were both flukes out of hundreds of eggs.

The incubator is usually on 38. I’ll have a look at Govee thank you.
Yes my last ones have all pipped on day 20 and I thought surely they are done by now. I’ve left the chick alone but you can see and feel the part uncovered is fluffy
