Day 22 NO Chicks

[moonlitfarms]

How much hope do you give them? Should I pull the plug tonight???

Sometimes they take a bit longer from what I hear. I wouldn't give up just yet.

candle and give them a couple more days. I hope you get some fluffies

How long do I wait? Would they still hatch if I can only get my humidity to 50%? I have tried everything and cannot get above 50%.

 

[hypnofrogstevie]

I got a hatch at 55%. Have you tried a wet sock, distowel or sponge? give it 2 or 3 days

 

[orlandoluv1]

youve put wet sponges or socks in the incubator? the problem with that is that even if they do try to come out they might not be able to make it without their membranes drying out. but i definately would give them a couple more days. if your temperature was even just a little low that could delay the hatch so i would juts be patient hahahahhah i now easier said then done huh?

Candle them and see if they have internally pipped the air cell. If you have had any low temo they can go until day 25 and still hatch.

I have small dish of water and wet rag, with all bator trays full and still no luck.

As a last resort I even stood one of my Ideal chicks on top of the bator to try and talk the others into coming out!

This could drive a person to drink!

I had my kids put a sock in the bator earlier and they said the hum is up to 55%, they left the bowl and rag in there as well. I have been driving them crazy texting them all day to check the bator #'s and report back because they are on spring break and I am at work.
