Day 19 and no movement or peeps

[CrowsCaw]

This is my first time incubating eggs. I ordered 10 black australorp and silver laced wyandotte eggs from meyer hatchery. One came to us broken so we tossed it and the other came to us with a chip... but we decided to give it a chance and it developed normally. But now its day 19 and i removed them from the egg turner and raised the humidity. I am using a hovabator model 1602N with an automatic egg turner. I staggered some eggs from my own chickens.. stupidly so i have around 9 more eggs in there due to hatch a couple days after the australorps and wyandottes. The other eggs are silkie eggs. Should i be worried that my australorps and wyandottes are not moving around yet?

Im annoying my fiancé with my worrying lol

You are annoying me too! lol, day 19 can be a quiet time for egg hatching. have patience, don't worry until day 22. besides even if you wanted to pop them at day 19 thaye would not make it. I have eggs on day 19 too, but I am not really expecting them to hatch til day 22.

Lol i dont want to pop them... i would just like them to give me a little hint that i didnt mess them up... ih... my temp spiked briefly to 101.5 So im worried about them... lol im making something labor intensive for dinner so i dont just sit by the eggies and annoy them too

101 would be okay for a still air, but anything brief won't kill anyone.

101.5 is nothing to worry about. That isn't high at all.

 

[CrowsCaw]

Ok... isnt 103 fatal?

 

[gimmie birdies]

not with still air, but maybe if it was temp all the way through setting- I know 105 is.

IDK, Mine went to 105. something for a bit (unknown if it was 1 hour or 6 hours) and I have 3 eggs that were peeping last night. 5 have little peck holes. I am so excited! I am at day 19. ALTHOUGH I admit I do not know how many of the 42 eggs I have are good and fear these ones will not make it.... Just because this is my first time.
