Day 21 (chicken eggs) not even any internal pips yet

[Purelychicks]

No pips, no cheeping, no wiggling.

I also just sprayed perfume right next to the incubator because I’m in a rush to get to a meeting and I forgot is it gonna hurt them?

@Rosto sorry for tagging, I’m just really concerned. will they hatch still? They were all candled day 17 and were all developing and moving

Make sure to give them time, it’s hard to break through an egg I would start to worry on day 24-25 some chicks take longer depending on the temps in the incubator

Thanks! It’s usually 99.5 but fluctuates a little. I have the styrofoam still air incubator from TSC

That sound good, and I know the last couple of days are always the hardest all that waiting
I just hatched out some myself and they hatched on day 22 so they were a little late but that’s totally normal if you are worried they aren’t moving or anything you could try peeping To the eggs or film them so you can see if they are moving

 

[Rosto]

Just be patient. I have had some late bloomers. It all depends on a lot of variables, every time I see chicks hatching it's a sort of miracle!

You could try playing a sound bite of a hen clucking to chicks or chicks chirping to each other. It can stimulate them to get things moving.

I hear chirping now but no external pips yet! Could any be stuck? (I’m an over thinker.)
