Day 22 Silkie not hatching

[ellasflock]

Hi Everyone, it is now day 22 of incubating my Silkie eggs, and there is nothing.

The eggs don’t seem to have moved but i candled them both and there seems to be chicks in both of them.

I had to swap incubators at about day 9 because the temperature was only reaching 35 C, and then I got the Brinsea incubator and they seemed to develop well.

However, there is no chipping or sign of movement, I can’t see the egg rocking or anything? I’m not sure what to do?

Just to mention, I candled them about 3 days ago because I realise the eggs have to be on lockdown

Your low temperatures during the first 9 days may have delayed them a bit.

I agree.
It is so tough to wait.

 

[ellasflock]

Yes, it is really annoying, especially because I can’t candle them at the moment.

 

[ellasflock]

I think you are right it is possible that the temperature drop has made them late. Hopefully they aren’t quitters

Name to consider for these chicks:
Ann for annoying
Gall for galling
Vex for vexatious
Tate for irritating

Love them

Hi all. I am new here. Love this forum because I learn so much.
It is day 22 of hatching barn yard mix. Two out of 5 eggs have hatched. The last two have no movement or chirping. I candled the today. The inside is completley black/full. I can see no air sac. Quitters? Thanks.
