Don’t give up yet. People have had this happen and then day 23 or 24 the chicks start popping out of the shells. What was your humidity the first 18 days and then what did you raise it to on lockdown? You will get a million different opinions on humidity but mine was 45% for the first 18 days and then I raised it to 55% for lockdown and they all hatched. I’m scared of humidity any higher, for fear of drowning them. That said, others have success with higher humidity but those numbers worked perfect for me.It's not looking good. I did a candle and tap and nothing. They aren't moving, no signs of pipping, no noise. I have put them back in the incubator, because you never know - but I am feeling a bit broken. They were all fine on day 18 and I followed all of the advice to the letter.
Is it possible they are just sleepy/very still - or have I lost them? I know you don't know the answer to this. I just don't know what to think or do. I wanted those babies so badly.
I am not holding much hope (sorry to be such a downer). Will do a water test tomorrow if nothing happens in the meantime. I don't know what went so wrong
