Day 21 and nothing's happening...Is this normal??????

[Tiff A.]

Today is day 21 in the incubator. Nothing is going on....is this normal? This is my first time hatching and I'm scared I did something wrong. On day 17 it seemed they were developing, temp has been at 99.5 and humidity has been good. What do I do now???

Walk away and sit on hands!

Sometimes they're late. I've had hatches at day 25 and some others have had day 28 hatches,

How is your humidity? Did you add a little water at lockdown?

 

[Tiff A.]

Humidity is at 72 right now

 

[wolftracks]

That may be a little high.

You don't want to drown them in thier shells.

Maybe bring it down to 65%

what is the best way to drop the humidity during lock down?

 

[wolftracks]

Is there a way you can get maybe a turkey baster through to suck some of the water out?

I can try...but can I open the incubator to do it?
