chicks hatching?

Your humidity should be at 70% and your temp should be at 37.5 degrees celsius.

I thought I heard the chick penetrating the shell only to find it was my hamster eating her food

Please don't think me rude, I am truly only trying to help but if you don't get your temperature and humidity sorted out, you won't be hearing anything but your hamster anyway xxx

This is the truth. That's why I was asking about the temp earlier. If the temp is truly at 48 degrees C, then they probably didn't develop at all. That's 118 degrees F.

So if you don't mind, can you fetch that temp?

I have the incubator on 48 degrees like the instructions said

sorry I meant 38 degrees Celsius

Ok 38 celsius is certainly better than 48 but is still too warm. It should be 37.5. Has it been 38 all through the incubation period? Is it a still or forced air incubator?

Patience Patience my friend. (Easier said than done)

I have found that my large fowl Buff Orpington chickens (Standard Size) will sometimes take 22 days instead of the regular 21 days.

I changed it to 37.5 and yes it has been 38 all through the incubation period

A forced air will have a fan unit. A still air does not.
