Day 21 nothing is going on ~UPDATE day 22 how worried should I be?

[NoseyChickens]

I have really tried not to be such a freak over this hatch. It's my third one now. I have been pretty calm about it up until now. But it's day 21 and I haven't heard a peep or seen one rock, nothing! I am starting to get worried and obsess! Nose glued to bator window waiting. It's awful. I have 12 eggs in lock down, all bantam breeds (polish and buff rock) I had a spike in temp on day 18 to 102. How worried should I be about that? Temp has been steady since at 99.5 and humidity is just right.

I don't start to worry too much until the end of day 22. Good luck and I hope you end up with a good hatch! Have you candled throughout? Were they all alive/fertile?

 

[NoseyChickens]

Yes. I candled they were doing really well before lock down. Lots of movement and good development. Just trying to be patient.

Day 21 and nothing here either, but I'm not worried, its common my birds hatch on day 22. I imagine they'll be pipping by tonight.

 

[NoseyChickens]

LOL. I was doing so well this time until today. First hatch I was a nervous wreck. Then last night I started to worry. I know there is no need yet. But I can't help it. Thanks for your support.

Don't worry, that happened to me. When I woke up they had all hatched and looked healthy.

Well I left the house and spent the day in town running erronds with my girls. Came home to a pip. Now I have situated the desk lamp close to the bator got the flash light out and ready to helo me see inside. DH is laughing at me and worried I may explode from excitement when they finally arrive.

Oh my gosh does it ever get old? Third time around and I am still so excited. New breeds for me this time. I can't wait to see what they look like. I have another batch of bantam frizzle polish due to lock down in 2 weeks.

I had 2 of my buff rocks hatch between 10 and noon today. They pipped last night. There are 10 other eggs in there with no pip, no rocking. How worried should I be? I should just relax right? I feel like a goof stressing this much.

They are precious!! Congrats! I know it's hard to be patient, but do try. My last hatch started on day 21 with the last one hatching out on day 25.... Now that is STRESS!!!
