Is it calibrated? Does it turn the eggs automatically or do you hand turn them? What day did you start?
Day 21 is tomorrow if it's not running a bit low. The first day starts after 24 hours.
Don't do anything yet. Chicks will follow their own schedule, no matter how much we want them on time. Other factors matter too, such as temps being a little cool. That can cause them to come late.
No movement at all? Can you get a photo of the egg being candled so I can see the beak in the air cell? This is important. As this may be an internal pip, talk to it and watch closely for movement, listen for chirps.
I think that mean internally pipped? But I dont see any movement. poor baby ... Im worried for them. I know I shouldn't be so attached. But I want them to survive so badly. This has been an amazing therapy in ways for my family. To watch life grow in such a sweet way. I am using my neighbors foam incubator that she uses for her class hatchings.
The incubator is actually a big foam one from my neighbor who uses it yearly with her students to raise chicks
This egg started on October 1st. Great movement the entire time- I had rotated them. I went into incubator lock down on day 18 only. lifting slightly for a moment at a time to add warm water to keep humidity up. When I candled on day 17 the chick was active and seemed happily growing
