Day 18 is approaching - give us all the lock down and hatching tips!

If there's no activity by the end of day 23, that's when I would quit. I would candle them first to see if there is anybody alive in there first, though.

Thank you! Gosh, lockdown is tomorrow and I’m nervous!!! Is that normal ahah!

Annnnd we’ve got a second pipped (funny enough, the egg I was worried about !)

We have an egg that has pipped down instead of up. Do I roll the egg or leave it?

I was told to leave it and the chick hatched without any issues. Once other chicks hatch they will all get kicked and rolled.

you could play this on loop, I did, not sure if it helped, but couldn't hurt, lol.

You can also listen for peeping and gently tap the egg to see if there's any response.
