Cracking!

[Curiousboy]

Eggs can take up to 24 hours to hatch, so don't worry. Give it time and see if it makes progress. Sometimes a chick will break through the shell before it finished absorbing the yolk sac, so it needs to stay in there a bit longer and "helping" it hatch could be fatal.

Sumi,my eggs are on day 21 today, have no cracking or sounds from the eggs (only have 6).but 4 are moving in the incubater. Can you tell me how much longer before they will hatch? This in my first hatch and I'm worried.

U should start seeing mini cracks sooner !! Mine started moving and sooner i saw a crack now its a little bigger not too. Al though also mine started cherping so just be pacient not too long for them to crack

You should see a pip soon. Give them a bit more time. If they haven't managed to get through the shell after hours of trying they may need help, but leave that as a last resort.

ok,I first noticed the movement yesterday afternoon at 5:17pm(I'm keeping a log on everything that's going on,)Do i need to help now or give them more time? My wife hasn't left the incubater since she saw the eggs move! !

It'll tell you what to do, if you need to do it and how to do it, step by step. Helped me enormously when I incubated eggs and didn't know what to do!
How far along are your eggs?
