I'm on day 21 and nothing yet, I saw movement at lockdown so I was very hopeful, but I'm starting to get very concerned that something went wrong since then. This is driving us nuts, We've checked the bator about 100 times today. I guess they're right when they say a watched pot never boils..arrrrrggg:he
 
from what i have seen on here it could take a bit. Do you hear anything. I know about the nervous part. I am on day 9. Mine are not due until the 20th. It is driving me crazy. Prayers to you and the eggs.

Don't give up!! They could be late. Most people wait until day 23-25 before giving up. If the temp went down at all it could take extra time for them to hatch. Keep an eye on the humidity, it is important as the temp. It should be between 60-70 at this point. I always add a warm wet washcloth right under the hole in mine so I can add warm water to keep the humidity up.
 
Mine are also due today, but nothing. I know they were alive the day I went into lockdown ,but my temps were on the lower side most of the time so I dont expect them to show untill later...maybe even in a couple more days. Be patient and hopefully they are just having a little stage fright.
 
No need to stress yet I have had them go 28 days
If nothing by tommorrow I would candle them and make sure they are alive
