Day 22 and so many questions

[Scheid0413]

Hello all! We are currently at day 22 with the 7 eggs that we have left of our first batch of chicken eggs in the incubator.

Everyone says I should see movement, hear chirping, know exactly what is going on...but I’m feeling more confused than confident right now. I haven’t seen the eggs move at all, haven’t heard any sounds from inside any of them, and I am clueless!

I was raised with chickens, but the hens were always great mommas who did all the hard work.

Should I be doing anything at this point? Temp is at 99.7 Humidity is 75%.

Take an egg out and tap on it. If it cheeps or sounds like its swallowing really any noise but that's always what I hear from them. You may have counted the days wronge. Say the eggs are put in on the 1st at 8:00pm then not until the next day same time is a whole day of incubation complete. I'd wait at least 5 more days before throwing them out.

You can also water candle. If you look it up I'm sure you'll get lots of articles on it.

OP Update:

Still no pips. No movement. I did the water candling, and they seem to be viable. Still waiting.
