Day 20 no chirping HELP!!

[BaileyBoy]

Hi today is day 20 for my chicken eggs and I don't hear chirping yet. I had a little bit of a low temperature for about a day so is the reason I'm not hearing anything yet because I'm gonna have a delayed hatch?

Don't panic.....all you truly can do is wait and see. I think your eggs should be set now, on the incubator floor on their sides, and you don't want to open that, because you'll lose precious humidity. Give it some more time. I wish I had a better answer for you!

Hang in there!

I hope they are just late.

Did you candle at all during the earlier stages? If not, don't start now, give 3 or 4 days more. Crossing my fingers for your successful hatch.

Is this chick malpositioned? I'm a bit worried. And yes, they are PIPPING.

you can see where the day 14 air cell mark is and where the pip is.

Malpositions are tough, but your chick pipped successfully. I lost a turkey this morning that was in the same position but could not pip. How long has it been pipped without hatching out? Can you see it breathing and hear it peeping?

I've had many like that and they all hatched fine, think you will be ok.

thanks for all the help guys.

i believe it has been about almost four hours. yes i have heard it peeping. also, today is only the end of day 19 I'm pretty sure.

Then waiting is the best thing to do. It's hard to watch and wait, but at day 19 it won't be done pulling in the yolk. It should come out when it's ready!

I had a couple that I thought for sure wouldn't hatch since it took them so long and I thought the remaining were dead since they were so behind the rest. My hatch started 1am day 21, Sunday morning and I just had 2 hatch over night last night and another 1 pip, today is day 23.. Patience pays .

Good Luck and Happy Hatching!!!
