day 23 no peeps yet getting worried

if they stopped rocking its not a good sign.

pick up an egg and tap it, listen for chirping.

if none, open egg by making a small hole at big end.

look for life

tell us about the hatch

incubator type?
fan forced?
thermometer and hygrometer type and how were they calibrated?
turning method?
temp and humidity during incubation?
where did you get eggs and what breed are they?

 

[kkowa]

turning by hand because the turner broke got its and 18 egger cant remember the name but its a expensive one temp held at 99.5 for 23 days chick is still moving when I candle

 

[ozexpat]

does it have a fan?

if there is movement, hang in there

 

[kkowa]

yes theres a fan and self adjusting temp and humidity based on the # of days

it sounds like its the ideal incubator

give it a day

have you candled to check ...if you can hear them chirping at all I would put a little hole in the big end...candle to check placement...so they won't run out of air if you believe they have been internally pipped for a day or so

theres a hole started in the end so looks good
