Day 20 and humidity may have accidently been set too high?

Well this morning 3 have piped but not entirely broken the egg shell just a bit of cracking but no actual hole, hope that’s normal? I can hear chirping! I managed to get some sleep and not obsess too much

Totally normal. They may take up to 24 hours to zip & hatch so it’s time to sit on those hands & wait it out

How is your hatch going @Hepzabeth?

Very surprised I set myself up for failure so that I wouldn’t be disappointed if nothing happened! 7 out of the ten have hatched and they all look happy. The remaining three eggs haven’t piped however one of those three looked abnormal on day 18 with no movement. The other two well there air sacs haven’t changed since day 18 so a little small and I can see no movement inside. It’s still day 21 so I am just keeping the three unhatched eggs in the incubator for the time being. I do have a new batch of eggs to go in. The whole process is amazing.
