Day 20 and no peeping or movement should I candle?????

[brijay2]

This is my first hatch and and due to broody accidents and me dropping a couple, I have only one viable little one. I candled her on day 18 and she was filling almost the entire egg and moving. It's now day 20 (almost 21) and no movement or peeping. Should I candle to see if she is still moving? This is so hard to just watch!!!!!!!!!!

I know its hard but try not to open the bator, you'll loose humidity.

Hope it hatches!

Just be patient! handling the egg at this point can only do more harm than good. Give "her" a few more days!

NO! Set on your hands and leave the lid on.
