Day 21 and not one pip. I am panicking.

[Three Girls Farms]

Today is day 21 and I am panicking that there is not one single pip in there. I only have a dozen, but still last go around all the ones that hatched were already pipping through. How long do I wait before I should really be concerned?

Have you candled the eggs at all during the incubating process?

Yes, I candled them and it looked as if there were at least 6 that were viable, but some are Black Copper Marans and being I am somewhat new at this I could not tell all that well with them being their shells are so dark.

The temp is at 99 and humidity is at 49 right this second but has been between 49-57 throughout. The temp has consistently stayed the same.

Can you try and up the humidity level to 65-70%

The resevoir that holds water is full, but I can add a bowl of water in there. That may help bring itup a little bit, but then I have to open the incubator to do so. I will see what I can get it up to.
