day 22 no pipping yet????

[daniellenoel]

We are on day 22 and no pips or anything yet, the temp is great, the humidity has been pretty steady at 65% a little lower the 1st day of lockdown (55%-60%). We candled before lockdown and all looked good
We think some of the eggs are moving a bit...
Any suggestions on how to get them started????
We want them to hatch soon, is it too late?? ANyone have them hatch after day 22???
Thanks

My first hatch didn't start until day 23. I was so nervous! But 6 of the 7 eggs hatched out fine - the last one had quit some time before.

A day or so before they pip, you can often hear them peeping inside the shells. Do you hear anything if you listen quietly?

are you supposed to be able to hear the peeping over the fan?

 

[daniellenoel]

Not sure, it is so hard to hear over the fan... we do peep a little into the incubator for them to hear us
We do see a few eggs moving a bit, I think that is a good sign
Just so worried we won't have any
I am doing this with my 2nd grade class and would hate to have nothing happen
Thanks

did you already have pips before day 23? we are on day 22 and should we start seeing some pips???
gosh, I am so worried they are stuck and can't get out

I know the feeling I am on last 1/2 of day 22 and just got my first pips. So don't give up yet. Good luck!!
