Day 22 no chicks?

[Englishjd828]

It’s day 22 and I’m incubating old English game bantam eggs. I had one chick hatch yesterday and yesterday evening I heard 3 chicks peeping and pecking on the inside of the shell...the first week or 2 I had my temp to 99.5 till I understood it needed to be 101.5 for still air. I haven’t heard the chicks peeping anymore and it’s been over 24 hours what should I do my temp is 101.4 and humidity is at 71%

Hi there, welcome to BYC!

Just keep your humidity high... maybe they are resting. Since your temp was low at the start... they might be a little late.

Like EggSighted4Life said they might just take a little more time because of the low temp in the beginning. Don't lose hope quite yet! Keep us updated.

I agree if the temperature was a little low it can take a day or two longer for the eggs to hatch. What was the humidity during incubation? I have had chicks hatch as late as day 25. Good luck and have fun...
