Day 21 No Chicks

[Ranger 45]

It is now day 21 for my chicken eggs that were fertile. On day 8 i could see little chicks in 4 of em. I cant believe they havent even peeped yeat. I turned them 3 times a day and never missed turning them and the temp was always around 98. I stopped turning on the 18 day.
So what happened? are they dead?

I am on day 22 and now I have 9 eggs starting to hatch, Don't give up yet.My incubator ran low temp so it just delayed my hatch.

What is the absolute latest a living chick will hatch?

 

[kandyg_99]

My last batch a week ago I still had chicks hatching on day 24.

98 is a little low on the temperature so you will probably have a late hatch. Don't give up yet!

Yep. 98 is low. Expect a late hatch. Even at 99.5-99.6 I have hatched into the 24th day...be patient.
