Day 21 chirping no pipping

[Missenn2013]

There isn't much you can do right now so I would just wait.

Hopefully they'll start hatching the night.

You know you could check to Make sure they have not externally pipped on the bottom side of the egg.

It's not going to ruin your hatch if you open the incubator real quick and close it real quick.[/QUOTE
Thanks so much for your help !! Fingers crossed .. ill keep updated

The problem
It's only day 21...It is hatch day but if your temperature was a little low they may not hatch until tomorrow so just sit tight.

Now's a good time to go shopping.

It's very stressful, to me, to sit and watch the incubator and worry myself.

It is hard going ! But its 5 to 9 at night over here in the uk, so its the worst time to sit and worry.. i ive just opened the lid and checked there is a sign of pipping on a couple of the eggs!! .. i added a little more water as the back trays were dry and shut the lid again, although i do feel terrible for opening it up !! I just hate the thought anything bad could happen to them. But you have definitely put my mind at ease a little

65% humidty is enough...don't raise it too much higher.

Go to sleep.
They will probably start popping out tomorrow.

24 hours after you notice the first external.

I put folded water-moistened paper towels into a glass dish with lid beside my incubator when it gets close to hatch day. If I have to open the incubator during lockdown, I just drop one of these room temperature towels (typically mid-80*F inside the house) into the incubator in an unoccupied area of the incubator to boost the humidity a touch. It hasn't seemed to cause a drop in temperature as severely as adding water. I guess I *could* have added warm water and attained that same result, but I use one of those plastic food injector type of syringes to insert the water for humidity into my Farm Innovations 4250, and my home does not have hot water, only cold... so I'd have to mess with microwaving the water to get it warm, then get it into the syringe, etc. More work than I'd realistically DO every time opened the incubator.
