Had 6 but 1 didn’t develop, candled before lockdown and all 5 were moving nicely… just waiting on the last two now but I can’t see if one has made a pip as it’s against the wall. The other has knocked some shell off and I can see the membrane moving when it moves but nothing else as yet and it’s been about 13(?) hours…Cute!!!how many eggs do you have?
It’s also getting tight for space in there, it’s only an 8-egg incubatorCute!!!
I would go ahead and candle it and take out the chicks that hatched first and put them in the brooder. (You can also grab some of the eggshells out to make some room in there.) When you candle the egg, look for signs that it has internally pipped. If not, then it may not hatch but put it back in and be prepared to help in the morning if needed. If it has internally pipped, put it back and hope it will hatch overnight!
Thanks. I’ve moved the dry two, will leave the other two in there until they’re dry.
it always takes 6 hours longer than you think it should. patience
