Day 21 - Waiting... Waiting...

[gfcm]

From what I've read many times over on here, altitudes make a difference. After reading that so much, I did searches for folks that hatched in my area or same altitude and went with what they did on humidity. We'll see. This is my first time, so I'm just winging it with info I've gathered. Any who...fingers crossed for you!

hang in there. Chicks can sometimes be sneaky and zip out when you are asleep without any indication or sign that they are about to pop out.

Sounds like you are doing everything right.. Here is the info I found....

Thanks, guys. I'll keep you posted.

I keep thinking I see a wiggler, but I assume it's my eyes playing tricks on me. Maybe they'll wake me up in the middle of the night.. They are certainly loud when they break free of those shells, huh?

Still nothing.

Nothing. Day 21 and nothing. I really could use a few inspirational moments of chicks hatching...ugggh. No wigglers, no pips...Humidity went up last night for no reason. External humidity did not increase, did not add water...hope that means there is some excitement on the horizon. Temp 100, humidity 60%. LG Still Air...

But "A watched egg never pips"...aka a watched pot never boils.

This is insanity. I did really well the first 19 days -kept my cool. Trusted my gut,,,now I am just blasted insane! So sad looking in there and seeing nothing. I really want to candle them, touch them, give em a jiggle...
