new to incubating chicken eggs however I have incubated duck and guinea eggs...

I know I have to wait and hope all goes well but I need to know if anything is different??

I just hatched my first chicken egg yesterday...heard peeping on day 22 and she finally hatched at day 23 early morning. So, don't give up hope. I guess incubtor temperature and humidity variations can affect hatch times.

I am not hearin a thing so I am overly concerned that the chicks have died...
know they could be taking a break, as I have been out alot this morning but still am concerned

If the thermometer was off and the temperature was on the cool side, it can take the chicks an extra day or two to hatch. I was on day 23 and was going to pitch the three eggs I had left in the incubator. I picked one of the eggs up and I heard peeping. What a surprise. It had pipped on the bottom side of the shell where I couldn't see it. I did help it hatch and now it is doing great. Keep the faith...
