Day 21--now what?

[My3Kids]

This is our first time hatching and we're so anxious! Yesterday was day 20, and 3 of the eggs started "rocking" in the incubator! We've had fun watching this, but now we wonder how much longer?? We have 16 "good eggs" and two that I wasn't sure of.
What should I watch for or do? Increase temp? I have the humidity at a higher level.
Are we just being impatient?

Thanks!!

Relax! And yes be patient. Good luck with your hatch.

thanks!!! I'm so afraid I'm going to do something wrong at the end!!!

still nothing...should I avoid opening the incubator to check for sound?? How about if my temps are too low--could that slow things down

Yes to both - avoid opening the incubator. If there is peeping to be heard, you will hear it with the lid closed, too. Every time you open the incubator, you let out humidity. You are right about the temp - if it was a bit low, it would delay hatching. I'd give it until Day 25 at least. Now, step away from the incubator, take a deep breath, relax and enjoy yourself. A watched pot doesn't boil, and a watched egg doesn't hatch.
