Day 20

[Tylermclinchey22]

So I am on day 20 of incubation in my forced air incubator but no pips or eggs moving yet(all 12 are fertile and formed great) I have the temp at 99.5 and and now have the the humidity at 65.
Should I be concerned?
Will they hatch late?
And will they even hatch? thanks!!!

Have you candled the eggs at all?

Chicken eggs normally hatch on day 21-23. No need to be concerned yet!

Have you candled the eggs at all?

Yes and they all were alive and well on day 18

Late hatches totally happen, it's not that big of a deal I'm sure they are fine birth and hatching always seems to take FOREVER!

How did your hatch turn out? I am on day 20 now and have no pipping or movement yet and I am getting worried!!

If you are counting the first day you put them in, that can also make it seem like the hatch is longer than it really is. Day 1 should really be the 2nd day the eggs are in the incubator. Good luck and pray for patience . It's always hard getting closer to the hatch date.
