hi all I'm new here on the chicken scene. i started my first clutch of 24 redchicken eggs on june 1st @ midnight. I candled @ 7 &14th days and removed about 50 % that were not fertile or development had stopped. I have been turning 3x daily manually and stopped on 18th day Here I am on day 21 no pips or sounds I'm starting to get nervous lol. well i couldn't take the suspense any more so i gently chipped off the airsac on one of the larger eggs i can see movement but no effort was made by the chick to penetrate the membrane are they too weak to pip maybe?is it possible to be a few days late maybe a temp issue?
i run a still air incubator @ 101F. Is there anything else i can do at this stage? Any suggestions will be appreciated as this is my first hatch.
thanx , eggturner
