Day 19 questions

[Mandymooligan]

Today was my 2nd day in lockdown. No pips, I have not seen any egg movement. (they are in egg cartons). Is this par for the course?

I have had some not move much or peep until the day they are due to hatch (day 21)
It can also take up to 23 days so I would just wait it out and try not to worry about it, I know
that is easier said than done

Good luck with your eggs...hope you have baby chicks soon

A watched egg will never pip.

It is kind of hard for them to move in an egg carton. I know some people use egg cartons to hatch in.

I had 1 egg in the hatcher since Monday the 3rd

Yesterday I was getting worried because nothing was happening

this morning egg was the same


1 hour ago the chicks just hatched in less than 1 hour

just be patient

all mine hatched late (like day 23 start). I think maybe because of the cool temps and the fact that my broody was trying to hatch them. I took them from her onece the first chick hatched and stuck them in the bator. All the ones that were going to hatch...did from day 23-26.

I used an egg carton (just hatched my first batch), just because i know i'm going to have more chicks than surface space and i don't want them kicking the other eggs around (which they almost do anyways, climbing over the eggs). I didn't hear a peep, got home at the end of day 20 and theres a chick! They all came out before day 21 ended.
